V-Sync ON - Tearing still present (Video inside) Help please
V-Sync ON - Tearing still present (Video inside) Help please
EDIT: Removed video since it was captured internally. Sorry, I didn't know. I can assure you I see screen tearing. The last game I've tested there is a line running across the whole screen separating the frames out of sync when I move the in game camera fast. There is also general jitter when I move the camera fast in a game, it's not normal, its very distracting.
With v-sync on from nvidia control panel games still have tearing. Fps in game was 60 the whole time.
I've done/tried the following:
only v-sync from in game
uninstalled the graphics driver using ddu and installed the newest one
adaptive v-sync and fast sync
triple buffering
capped the fps from 58 to 65
switching between windowed, borderless windowed and fullscreen
alt tabbing and switching back to game
reseating gpu
Specs:
GTX 1070
i7-9700K
16 GB RAM
SSD
60hz 1080p monitor
Windows 10 1909
I don't know what is happening, I can't believe this is possible. Please, I require your help. I've been trying to deal with this for a few days now and started seeing screen tears everywhere now, even when I close my eyes. Any word on this would help a lot.
Here’s the rewritten text:
To troubleshoot screen tearing and visual artifacts, let’s explore several settings within your graphics card control panel (like MSI Afterburner). First, attempt to limit frame rates to 59fps – a value slightly above your typical gaming rate – while experimenting with different vertical synchronization (Vsync) options.
Specifically, try these combinations:
* **Cap FPS to 59:** Start with a cap of 59 fps and test Vsync on and off.
* **Vsync Options:** Explore all Vsync types—forced in Nvidia Control Panel (NvidiaCP), application control, and triple buffering (set to 1 or 3).
* **Ultra Low Latency Mode:** In NvidiaCP, enable the "Ultra Low Latency" mode. Be aware that this setting can sometimes cause issues with certain games.
While testing, observe for any visual artifacts like “jaggies” – jagged edges in images—and monitor your input lag. Note any changes you observe when using these settings.
Thanks for letting me know, I wasn't sure about that. Unfortunately I don't have a good camera but I can assure you, I see screen tearing. In that particular game, Lost Ember, a single horizontal rippled/distorted like runs across the whole screen from time to time. Besides that, motion just doesn't look good at all, very jarring to look at. Could this also be a monitor issue?
Here’s a revised version of the provided text focusing on clarity and streamlining:
To address the visual artifacts you're experiencing (specifically, "jaggies"), let's explore potential solutions. First, try capping your frame rate to 59fps with Vsync enabled using a tool like MSI Afterburner. Experiment with different VSync types – NvidiaCP, application control, and triple buffering (1 or 3). Don’t exceed 60fps.
Next, investigate in-game graphics settings: antialiasing modes, motion blur, view distance scaling, resolution scaling, and check for GE optimizations. Avoid using GeForce Experience to optimize if possible.
Alternatively, consider Nvidia's DSR (Dynamic Super Resolution) – render at a higher resolution and scale it back down. This can effectively reduce jagged edges. If the game supports it, experiment with DSR settings alongside adjusting in-game antialiasing strength or disabling it entirely. Be mindful that excessively high DSR settings can significantly impact performance.
Finally, explore Nvidia's Ultra Low Latency Mode within Nvidia Control Panel – though be aware this setting may cause issues in some games.
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and conciseness:
“I’m having trouble achieving smooth camera movement in GTA V, regardless of whether I run it in full-screen mode or windowed/borderless. It seems Windows DWM automatically disables v-sync when running these modes, and most games don't offer a v-sync option at all. Using an FPS limiter can help reduce tearing, but isn’t perfect. The second version of the limiter doesn't limit file write speed, which is important because limiting it will slow down loading times.”
