How to resolve 144hz screen tearing in Valorant?
How to resolve 144hz screen tearing in Valorant?
I get like 230-250fps in game and when I cap to 144fps there is so much tearing I can't even play and it isn't smooth. If I leave it uncapped there is still some tearing visible but not that much but the game still feels very slow and the 144hz feel like 60. Valorant is the only game with this problem. Any help?
My specs:
CPU: i3-12100f
GPU: rx 580 4gb (I have a feeling it might be the gpu)
RAM: 32gb 2400mhz
MOBO: msi pro h610m-e
Monitor: Samsung odyssey g3 LS24AG300NUXEN
It seems your adjustment will likely depend on the driver configurations.
I don’t have experience with Radeon settings, so that won’t help.
There’s an older piece of writing that clarifies how GPU, display, and input delays interact.

If any form of frame rate restriction harms the gaming experience, then the best choice seems to be avoiding it.
I always adjust the frame rate to be 2-3 frames lower than my desired refresh to prevent overshooting. Even then, it doesn't ensure the newly generated frame will sync with your display's refresh window.
Other choices include Vsync, which fixes tearing but may introduce input lag, or Variable Refresh Rate methods (if your monitor and GPU support them).
This issue has been around for a long time and is tied to fixed refresh rates.
