Freesync doesn't work properly

[SkixAces]

Hi guys,

 

So I got a problem. For some reason when I turn on freesync, the tearing doesn't completely dissapear. 

You can see that there is less tearing, but it is still there.

When I run the amd windmill demo you can see this pretty clearly.

I found out that when I turn v-sync on too the tearing stops, and that the whole image looks cleaner. I'm not sure if I should turn it on though, and if it will use v-sync instead of freesync

My specs:

RX 480 8GB

AOC G2260VWQ6

 

Yes, the display is connected with displayport, yes AMD freesync is enabled in the control panel, and yes, it does work (sort of)

I made a video of the windmill demo in which you can clearly see the tearing isn't completely gone, and I'll add that to this post.

Hopefully somebody knows if I should turn v-sync on, or any other fix.

Did you check the FPS?

FreeSync is supported between 35Hz and 75Hz on that monitor.

If you're FPS goes above 75fps (or below 35) it either switches to vsync and limits the framerate OR it goes no vsync and starts tearing (depending on your settings).

The fps in that demo was 60. I have the fps in regular games locked to 74, and it never exceeds that.

Also, the range is only 48-75 (When I update the drivers to get 35-75 the screen constantly flickers when it goes under or above that mark, aka in youtube video's and other applications that are run in 30fps. More people have this problem and hopefully it will be fixed with an amd driver update)
