Screen tearing :S

[Hielke]

Dear all,

 

I recently bought a iiyama SIlver crow 27" 1440p 70HZmonitor http://gmaster.iiyama.com/nl_nl/products/g-master-gb2783qsu-b1/ and now I suffer from screen tearing! In almost every game I have screen tearing by default. In most (but certainly not all) games this is resolved by enabling G-sync which caps my FPS at 70 (since the refresh rate of my monitor is 70Hz). Now, this monitor has no g-sync technology and I am using a DisplayPort. I am wondering what I can do to reduce/eliminate screen tearing (all my other system specs are below this post). 

 

Will it help to switch to a HDMI cable @ 60Hz instead of a DP @70Hz? Is there software or certain Nvidia settings which reduce screen tearing? All information is most welcome!

Tearing will always happen if your framerate is higher than your monitor's refresh rate. It's meant to be that way. The only way around it is by either limiting your framerate by using Vsync or console commands or by turning the settings way up.

Use triple buffering where possible. If it isnt use fast sync, fps caps and lastly if nothin else is available use vsync.

I'm a super noob here, how do I use that? I thought that that was some automatic function?

FIRST look into in game options.  Some ingames settings have those options, if they dont you can use nvidia control panel 3d options to force them, but in my experience tripple buffering isnt supported by all games.
