Screen Tear! HELP!!!!!

[DoctorSarcastic]

I have just received my new Asus vg248qe by mail. I currently have it hooked up to my laptop vi HDMI. I know I not able to push 144hz as I am building a gaming PC right now. When I play games I get some terrible screen tear, however, it is only at moments, not all the time. The games I play run at 60 FPS almost all the time. Is there any chance I can diagnosis this problem? Will it continue on my new PC at 144hz? Thanks.

 Why did you buy a 144hz monitor but you play games at 60fps?

have you selected that refresh rate on the videocard control pannel and hdmi cant go 144hz

Because hes using a laptop, hes planning on building a computer.

Are you sure you configured the monitor to run at 144Hz in Advanced Screen Resolution Settings?

I bought it for the PC I'm building right now. It has a GTX 780 so it will easily push about 144fps on most titles.

Yes I have. It is currently at 60hz.

Yes I have. It is currently at 60hz.

Well if it's currently at 60Hz then that's why you have screen tearing... Your PC will not have that problem unless you get over 144FPS...

Use adaptive Vsync it might help. I think it will lock it into 60 but if you make a custom settings in the Nvidia control panel I think under custom resolution you can set your monitor to output at 144Hz constantly.

60hz is the max you can go for now.

 

You will get tearing if the video card is delivering frames out of sync with the monitors refresh, which is possible above and below 60FPS (more common above)

 

If you enable vsync you will not get tearing because it forces the cards to sync each frames for transmission to the monitor after each refresh cycle (or something to that effect).

 

With your laptop GPU you may struggle to maintain 60 FPS so you'll drop to synced at 30 unless you have:

 

adaptive vysync enabled (nvidia)

or

the AMD equivalent (3rd party radeon pro software iirc)
