Hi everyone. I've been using Riva Tuner to cap the frame rate to 59fps with a 60hz free sync monitor to eliminate screen tearing, but with some games it doesn't work. Usually it's those games that don't have full screen borderless window option in the graphics settings. How do I eliminate screen tearing without enabling V-Sync?
The best solution for now is to enable adaptive V-Sync and have riva tuner with 59fps cap on top of it. Somehow there doesn't seam to be any input lag and the screen tearing is gone. My guess is that adaptive V-Sync kicks in only when the frame rate goes above 60 which means that when I cap it with Riva Tuner it's always off. But doesn't that mean that the screen tearing should have come back, like when I had V-Sync disabled? The whole situation is a little confusing.

Turn off Riva and vsync and just use freesync, that's what it's meant for

However, my display only allows freeSync up to 60 hertz. When the frame rate exceeds 60 fps it becomes unstable.
