V-Sync ON - Tearing still present

SeeKeR7 · November 23, 2019

EDIT: Removed video since it was captured internally. Sorry, I didn't know.

With v-sync on from nvidia control panel games still have tearing. Fps in game is 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. Please, I need your help. Any word on this would be great.

You won't be able to capture screen tearing internally, as the capture tool is likely plucking out frames at once. It's the same reason why you can't screenshot screen tearing. You'll have to capture it using a camera pointing at the monitor.

Outside of that, I can see in some instances where it the motion looks jarring enough to be mistaken for screen tearing.

Thanks for letting me know, I wasn't sure. Unfortunately I don't have a good camera and it will probably not capture the tearing. But I definitely see when turning the in game camera fast a distortion/ripple effect line running across the whole screen just like when having vsync turned off. And also the motion in general is very distracting as you mentioned, in all games. But in the case that I somehow mistake screen tearing for something else what is the line then and the other motion jitter that happens. It's very distracting, it's not normal and it happens in all the games that I've played. And I did this for the last couple of days trying to solve the issue but to no avail.
