Severe screen tearing on g-sync monitors
Posted: 26 Sep 2017, 11:51
Hi Everyone,
I have been all over the internet trying to figure this issue out, and I finally got directed here from a helpful person on reddit.
I have a 1080 ti with a Dell - S2716DG 27.0" 2560x1440 144Hz Monitor and a Asus - PG27AQ 27.0" 3840x2160 60Hz Monitor. Both have g-sync.
I like the 144hz monitor for fast fps games, while I like the 4k for singleplayer games. However, when I try to play most games (dark souls 3, the witcher 3, Paragon, Ori and the blind forrest, shadow of mordor etc) I get very severe screen tearing. It is nearly unplayable. Note I get the screen tearing no matter what graphics setting the games are played (low to ultra). Note #2: I don't get tearing in overwatch for some reason.
Things I have tried (unsuccessfully):
- Using on monitor at a time
- Limiting fps to 2 fps beneath the monitor refresh rate
- v-sync on, v-sync off
- ensuring both monitors are running at their intended refresh rate
- clean NVIDIA driver installs
All and any suggestions are appreciated!!
Thanks.
