Screen Tearing Problems...

After I purchased my R9 380 about a year ago I have been getting worse and worse screen tearing issues and now its to the point where it unacceptable. The thing is I have a 144 hz monitor so I'm not sure whats causing it. Is the GPU defective? Are AMD's drivers getting even worse? Is my monitor shot? And would upgrading to a GTX 1060 with V-sync solve the problem? It happens with just about any game I have, from Half Life 2 to Fallout 4. Any answers on forums to this besides "You need a 144 hz monitor" are quite flakey and I need know whats actually happening before I go buy a $300 GPU or possibly a new monitor (I've done everything I can to get the drivers working as well as they are able to).

I have an Asus Vg248QE, and it doesn't support Freesync...

 

What I need to know is if I need a new monitor or a new GPU

Screen tearing occurs when the video feed to the device is not in sync with the display's refresh rate. Not the gpu or monitor. V-Sync seems to solve it.

I have an AMD card, it doesn't have V-sync...

I have an AMD card, it doesn't have V-sync...

Open the amd vision engine control center, click the gaming tab along the left side, click 3d application settings and scroll down until you see the words "wait for vertical refresh".

I didn't think AMD had that, I'll try that for now and see if it works. I'm actually away from my house right now but I'll be back tomorrow and give it a try. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure all GPUs support v-sync.  It's a software solution to the tearing problem.  If you still get tearing with vsync enabled, you might have a monitor problem.
