Screen tearing even with V-Sync on

[Pure Mind Games]

My Settings(Admittedly I have no idea what some of these are or what they even do) are:

Resolution: 1366x768(Native)
Refresh Rate: 59.79(Don't Know why it doesn't show as 60)
Resolution Scale: 2
Texture Quality: Medium
Texture Filtering: Medium
Mesh Quality: Medium
Anti-Aliasing: FXAA+TAA
Motion Blur: On
Effects Rendering: High
Depth of Field: On
Shadow Quality: High
Dynamic Shadows: On
Shadow Cache: On
Ambient Occlusion: SSAO
Bloom: On
Lens Flare: On
Volumetric Lighting Quality: High
Reflections: On
Subsurface Scattering: On
Chromatic Aberration: On
Colour Space: SRGB

I've just checked with Afterburner and I'm getting 60s - 70s with variable Frame Rate selected, which is what I've been playing on since no matter whether I lock it at 60 or 30 with V-Sync I still have screen tearing.

If it helps My system is:
Ryzen 5 1600
GTX 1060
16GB RAM

You mean you have a 60-Hertz monitor and see frame tearing while you get 60+ fps and adaptive refresh rate?
Yes, it is rather expected to get tearing when you go beyond your monitor's refresh rate. It is actually pretty much common. Lock the adaptive refresh setting to 57 or 58 on the GPU side, and you should be good.

EDIT: OK, seems like setting VSync under Global Settings(something I'd completely forgotten about) in the NVIDIA Control Panel seems to have fixed the issue. It even lets me have the fps high than my refresh without tearing, it's a win, win.




No, I know having more than 60 would give me screen tearing, but whether I lock it at 60 or 30 and turn V-Sync on, I still have screen tearing.

So since the option appeared to be useless I figured, screw it, if it's going to be there anyway I might as well have an uncapped frame rate, until I can figure it out.

How would I lock it on the GPU side? the Nvidia Control Panel and Display Settings only show a 60hz

You need to use Experience for that. I do not recommend it, rather use the good old MSI Afterburner (or the entire Riva Tuner pack). It is a very solid program.

As for why, Capcom refused Nvidia's generous offer to "help" them on the RE Engine, so it does not have their GameWorks integrated. Nvidia is rather terrible when it comes to running engines they did not manage to put their mitts on, has been common in the past 7-10 years.

Also, Gsync actually likes to randomly produce tearing, nobody ever managed to find out why. It is always case by case basis on people with random rigs and random games, and for some, it never, ever goes away, so they switch to normal Vsync of framerate locks.
(To be fair, FreeSync can also do that.)

REGARDLESS of all other IN-GAME settings, nVidia control panel will overwrite all other settings elsewhere

If you want a hand setting up gsync correctly give me a shout.
