Gigabyte GTX 970 - Screen Tearing

[Simons]

Hello guys,

 

So I've noticed recently that I got some decent/a lot of screen tearing, and I have tried looking around for a fix, does anyone know a fix for the problem?

I have tried turning ''vertical sync'' to both ''on'' or ''adaptive'', this problem appears on both of my monitors no matter what I do, mostly happens in movies, thats where its most noticed, its there in games as well, but not as noticeable atleast.

 

Monitor 1: Syncmaster SA350 60Hz

Monitor 2: Syncmaster 2233 120Hz

Try limiting frames to whichever monitor refresh rate your using at the time..

 

It's possible (not come across it myself) that the different refresh rates are causing an issue.

[Simons]

Even at 60Hz refresh rates this happens, I tried turning it up to 120Hz to see if any difference, but still the same problem.

Anyone?

What game? Gta gives me crazy frame tearing. Does it happen on another monitor? Just a question dont know where to go with it if it does.

This happens everywhere, even when watching a YouTube video, or watching videos on Hulu Plus, its beyond frustrating to watch.

even at 30 fps?

Dang....that is weird. Your 2D acceleration seems to be borked. That is what the card is supposed to be doing in movies and such. I've also seen it if the drivers get broke and something isn't working right.

 

I suppose you could try a clean install of the drivers as a test.

I assume you mean 24 fps? But yes.

Further more, my drivers for the GFX is up to date.

reinstall drivers i guess, use cc cleaner to make sure any old drivers are gone. Have you messed around in afterburner or nvidia inspector it make have setting for 2d. I have never had this problem so im not 100% sure.

[Simons]

I have only turned on MSI Afterburner, never messed around with it, as my CPU is bottle necking pretty hard with this setup.

PS: Where in CCleaner do you find the ''remove drivers''?

im sure it was fine before the 970? Did you un install the drivers and delete amd software if you had it. Could be your cpu now that you say its a bottleneck but, i know nothing about this. Have a look in afterburner.

[Simons]

I have reinstalled my windows for not so long ago, this was probably 4+ months after the upgrade, it has probably had screen tearing before, without me noticing it too much.

whoops cc cleaner is mostly for registery erors. Ddu i think is the driver remover. Let me check. Cc cleaner does alot. Yep, ddu uninstaller in good, 1st result from 3dguru.

You can also just use the "clean install" option in the Nvidia driver installer. Removes most of the junk.

Youtube does do 30 or 60, never 24.

I know Hulu Plus atleast displays videos in 24 FPS, thought YouTube was the same at default.
