It functions successfully, though the result isn't visually refined. Just two weeks ago, I received an HP Z400 workstation and installed: a Xeon X5687 processor, 12 GB of memory, and a GTX 1060 with 3GB of graphics. I’ve confirmed that temperatures are within acceptable ranges using Core Temp. I assembled this system for my son, intending to conduct a 15-hour trial period initially. Immediately, I determined that maximum settings and the highest resolution were not feasible; performance was choppy and erratic. Reducing the graphics to medium settings at a lower resolution made it playable at 60 frames per second, but the screen exhibited noticeable ‘tearing’ as I moved horizontally. I haven't encountered this before, and it’s possible my description isn't accurate, but could this be attributable to insufficient hardware? Thank you for your insight.

This screen likely suffers from a sluggish update speed, which explains the issue. Experiment with it using a standard monitor—ideally not an exceptionally outdated one.

Could you please specify your monitor model and connection method? Have you attempted to enable VSync?

I apologize, that might be useful. Regarding a previous 2010 50-inch Panasonic Plasma television connected via HDMI, I need to investigate Vsync and its activation process.

This screen likely exhibits a sluggish update speed, which is the reason for that. Experiment with it on a standard monitor—ideally not one from many years ago.
