Now as far as I understand it, taring happens when your GPU outputs frames that mismatch your monitor's refresh rate. Eg: 140fps output on a 60hz display (correct me if wrong?)

 

-I run a 60Hz display, playing a game that is LOCKED at 60fps MAX, how come I can still get taring ?

 

thx in advance!

 

o also, does turning on Vsync (NOT G-SYNC OR FREE SYNC) help at all with minimum FPS/smoothing out sudden dips in FPS?

Turning on vsync should prevent tearing.

Locking fps alone won't solve tearing if you have it.
