Weird Screen Tearing.

[xDanielxOossiex]

Hey guys! I've got the ASUS ROG GL552VW 2 weeks now, and I'm noticing a very weird screen tearing, it isn't horizontal, but diagonal. It appears even when I have V-sync on, V-sync off but more than 60FPS in-game.

It looks really ugly and distracts me a lot in games like World of Tanks when I'm in sniper mode.

Is there any way I can get rid of this? The laptop has GTX960M in it with Driver 365.19.

I have heard of this... I saw it first hand a very long time ago, but hardware has drastically changed since then so that situation is most likely no longer relevant.  People these days are saying it has to do with optimus (switchable graphics).  Some laptops have a switch in the BIOS that controls this; perhaps try locking it into GPU mode (disable/bypass iGPU and the switching to it)

I have disabled the Intel HD530 in Device Manager, could that also work?

I'm not sure, but I don't think that's the right way to go about it... your laptop may be different, but the way mine works is the BIOS offers two modes: dynamic and fixed.  In Dynamic, the machine will switch between cards automatically and seamlessly as needed (but it doesn't kick on the GPU in OpenGL titles due to a bug).  In Fixed mode, I can manually tell it which one it should use while in Windows, and when it switches to one or the other, it is like that's the only thing in the system.  In my terminology, what I'm suggesting you do is go into Fixed mode and set it to use the GPU (but like I said you likely have different options - figure out your equivalent )

So I'll have to disable the IHD530 in the bios? I could only get into UEFI, I couldn't get into bios.

I'm not exactly sure what the right option is for you, but if you've had a look through and that seems like the closest match, I'd try it.
