Graphical glitch, screen tearing
Anyone know how to get rid of this weird wobble/tear I'm getting horizontal across the screen when rotating the camera. It's annoying as I can have everything set to ultra, v-sync on, dlss on, low latency on, borderless windowed @ 4k, 60fps... But this somewhat killing it for me.

I've tried running in native, locking the FPS, having the FPS unlimited etc...nothinf is getting rid of it. It's not my TV as it's only this game.

Any help, I'll give you an award

what is your refresh rate on tv?

is your mouse sensitivity too high?
what tv model?

like most tv for games use gysync for a reason....

I've tried full screen and the TV is in game mode and is 60hz so I've tried locking to 60hz and also unlimited and still got this weird judder through the middle....

I'm using controller aswell

Thanks

Got it, it was sharpening. I turned this off in the game options/video/graphics and now it's stopped!

Thanks

However, if I drop resolution to 2560x 1440p and then I can have sharpening on high and dlss set to quality and the game runs super smooth so I think I'll keep it on that, maybe the TV just can't deal with the fidelity the game is outputting at 4k, like it can't keep up. But I did realize the TV is actually 100hz and I'm getting like 80fps so combat much smoother aswell, which is cool.

Can't really tell too much difference as I sit a few metres away from the screen anyhow.
Doesn't sound like you know what you're doing at all.
What exactly has the sharpening option to do with screen tearing?

Do you know what you're talking about?

After a bit more investigation it seems the culprit is dlss mode. If this is on but sharpening off the tearing reduces but upon opening the map there is a slight shimmer when moving the cursor around the map.

If I switch dlss off then I get none of the tearing nor shimmering on the map. So it's running native 2k and the performance is okay, it's sitting at 60fps but the main thing is there's no glitching whatsoever, which is good.

Does anyone know why there's no fsr for this game? (Not including you Norman)
