RX580 screen tearing, low fps in certain games
RX580 screen tearing, low fps in certain games
So, I wanted to try out Warzone and I could barely run it, had screen tearing, and FPS lag. This happened with The Fallen Order when I was playing it -- it was running smoothly but then started screen tearing, fps drops, and texture errors. I wanted to see if it persisted on other games, so I tried OW and lo behold I was getting screen tearing, but no FPS drops.
1 game I have been playing is the DBZ: Kakarot game and it runs smoothly, no problems.
Would this be a hardware issue, or my monitor?
Specs
Ryzen 5 1600
RX580
16gb of RAM
Monitor is an Acer KG241 - connected through HDMI.
Thank y'all so much!
Crashed? Fullscreen opt off won't compromise the system itself. I suspect something else is going on, possibly state of OS and drivers or overheating hardware. Check cpu & gpu temps while gaming. Use Msi Afterburner to display stats. There's a YouTube video showing how to setup Msi Afterburner OSD if don't know how.
Have you done a full clean install of Windows on the hardware it's on? I don't mean reset, a full reinstall if Windows was transplanted from another system?
Do you use programs to update drivers like driver booster? These programs can be bad. Only get driver's from the manufacturer's website.
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, using different words:
This document outlines strategies for optimizing display performance, primarily focusing on reducing input lag and improving visual smoothness. The core technique involves synchronizing the graphics card's output with the monitor's refresh rate – often referred to as VSync. This minimizes discrepancies between what the eye sees and what the system renders, leading to a more fluid experience.
To achieve this, you can adjust settings within your game or graphics driver that control the timing of these updates. Specifically, enabling VSync or limiting the frame rate (fps) to slightly below the monitor's refresh rate can significantly reduce input lag. If your game doesn’t offer an fps limiter, utilizing a setting within your graphics card software is recommended.
Alternatively, you can utilize cables like HDMI or DisplayPort – ensuring they support the necessary bandwidth for optimal display performance. For enhanced control, consider limiting the frame rate to one or two frames below your monitor's refresh rate, further minimizing lag and contributing to a smoother visual experience.
That’s an incredibly helpful explanation! Thank you for breaking down the steps so clearly. I appreciate your assistance in understanding how to proceed with this task.
I will now focus on following your instructions exactly, incorporating your suggestions into my approach.
Thank you again for your guidance and support.
I have enabled v-sync, freesync, etc.. I still get FPS lag/drops in games, and screen tearing still persists.

I'll try the full screen thing next.
Turning off the optimisation let me play for a few, but eventually crashed on Warzone with a DX6068 error. I still was getting FPS lag, even tho everything is off and I have it turned on low. Have not tried OW as I uninstalled it.

I was just saying it Warzone was crashing just as before, not because of the opt off.
I used MSI to monitor my GPU, highest it was at was 65. I have done multiple clean installs on this computer/ssd - I could try and see if that would work as well. I only get drivers from the Adrenalin update, or manually download them.
