Will Screen Tearing Be Bad?

[Jack Dvorak]

Will screen tearing be bad with a gtx 1070 or 1080 with a 1080p 144hz monitor (NO G-SYNC) playing cs:go, bf1, bo3, bo2, rocket league and city skylines?

 

I would like a conclusion for each game, for example: cs:go _____, bf1 _____, etc.

You should be fine with V-sync. I see no tearing with it, only problem is the stutttering that can appear sometimes. Nothing gamebreaking for me, less gamebreaking than tearing at least. But even with V-sync on, you won't get the smoothness of G-sync/Freesync

Or turn off v sync and put on frame limiting that's what I stick to because I don't like the input lag from Vsync plus I'm running 75hz. I rarely get tearing.

My yes but 144 is way different from 75....

Yes but most people don't need 144hz....

I have 144Hz G-sync display (ASUS PG279Q). V-sync is always off.

• CS:GO - G-sync off
• BF1 (played ) - G-sync off
• BF4 -G-sync off
• Rocket league - G-sync on
• GTA V - G-sync on
• Witcher 3 - G-sync on

Basically if the game is really competitive then G-sync is always off, but if you can really enjoy and "take time" playing the game then G-sync gives much smoother picture and it IS better. I personally have not noticed screen tearing when playing competitive games without G-sync.

 

Hope this helps.

Screen tearing isn't much of an issue with a 144hz monitor, I can easily play with gsync disabled and not notice a difference. If you are really bothered by tearing though, I'd recommend enabling fast sync in the nvidia control panel, it gives all the responsiveness of having vsync turned off, and removes all tearing. Basically no reason not to.
