Screen tearing (AMD Freesync).

[TommySnare]

AMD Freesync refuses to apply to this game - Anyone else with this issue?

Specs
AMD 7900 XTX
32GB RAM
Ryzen 7 7700x
Running on SSD

I get a solid 144FPS constantly

- AMD Freesync works with every other game I play
- Vsync in game does remove screen tearing (I shouldn't have to turn it on)
- Adrenaline settings all show to have Freesync enabled

Considering my overall performance is excellent, it;s just a bug? I've never encountered this before xD

OK so in my particular instance.

Turning off the frame limiter option REDUCES screen tearing.
I then turned off 'Enhanced Sync' in the AMD drivers.
This just leaves AMD Freesync set to on - This eliminates all screen tearing.

Turning the frame limiter back on without 'Enhanced sync' brings the issue back.

However, if I limit the FPS with AMD's driver, the issue comes back - this is super weird!

Seems as though it's a combination of both GPU driver and a bug with the in game frame limiter?

What is your FOV?

Was 90, since playing this morning it's now 100.

I've slapped Vsync on in game for now as it eliminates the issue completely. Obviously the idea behind free sync is that I should not have to though.

That's not entirely true. You can still get screen tearing with Freesync - and any other variable refresh rate for that matter - if the frames are simply not synchronised. Obviously turning on Vsync is the sure-way to do it even with a VRR display, but it adds a bit of latency, but in most cases this happens when the framerate is either below or over the VRR range. Most monitors and TVs have a Hz range, whereas going under the target triggers LFC where it duplicates the image. If you're within the VRR range and are experiencing screen tearing it could be an issue where the game fails to hook itself even if it tells you otherwise. It could be a driver or game issue. Did you try changing screen modes and API's? I forgot to mention that FOV warning, as the other gentleman mentioned, could be worth checking out.

There is a game warning FOV above 90 can cause screen tearing.

My earlier post also applies to 90 FOV - Same issue.

Can confirm I've tried changing between different screen modes. I'll have to try a driver roll back over the weekend.
