Weird screen tearing?
Just reinstalled this since I got my 1080 Ti and notice it has very weird screen tearing and I remember it happening with my 980 Ti also. Tried Vsync, forcing adaptive, tried "Fast" sync but that just crashes it. Any opinions on things to try to do? Otherwise performance is fine.

Are you in full screen? If I run anything other than scritcly full screen, I get screen tearing and micro stutters.

Turn off vsync in game. Enable tripple buffering in your control panel and vsync or adaptive vsync in your control panel. Make sure your FPS is above your monitor's refresh rate. If it drops below you can get tearing.

It's not FPS issues since I got a 1080 Ti that's clocking in at 2,000 Mhz and I got a 6700k @ 4.7 Ghz. (also DDR4 RAM at 3,000 16Gigs)

Just WEIRD screen tearing for no reason mosty just in GTA. It also feels like there is weird input lag on the menus, I tried in borderless windowed no luck, then fullscreen with adaptive Vsync.

Make sure you disable v-sync when you do this, because Windows Aero will happily fight V-sync to provide the exact same service and it'll double down on frame loss.

Have it disabled ingame and forcing it control panel.

Cause I'm not sure why I'm getting weird screen tearing. Or if anyone knows how to fix it and experienced it on their own cause this is a game that's weird settings/performance wise.

I had it on my rx 470 and 75hz monitor even with freesync enabled. It worked for awile, stopped working and i checked my windows display settings my monitor somehow reverted to 50hz, reset it to 75 and problem solved. Check in windows maybe?

Yes I understand that much, but when someone told you it was an FPS issue you dismissed it and posted your system specs. FPS Issues are not the same thing as straight up FPS lag. You can have the best system in the world and still have FPS issues.

Based on what others are posting for you, your issue is in fact FPS related. Something to do with your refresh rate not matching up or even reverting. I wouldn't to so quick to dismiss someone idea just because you have a powerful system.

I have an OSD on and the FPS isn't dipping, there's something that's just giving it a weird screen tearing no matter the setting so trying to just correct it.

Don't put max settings your PC can't handle that it's going to burn the hardware because of heat kappa

Try limiting refresh rate to screen refresh rate. Did that when game came out and it fixed stutters and tearing issues.

Gsync is also a good option if you have a monitor/laptop that supports it.

Did you use something like Rivatuner to limit your FPS? I'll check out this method.

Again FPS issues have nothing to do with FPS Lag they are two seperate things. So watching your FPS and saying it doesn't dip is dealing with FPS LAG not FPS General problems like screen tearing.

But as many are saying to you, check your refresh rate.

I think I had exactly this problem. I solved it by using window mode instead of full screen, which allows you to set the frame rate in Display. Mine works at 60
