I need help about screen tearing.

[Erzurum]

Hi guys.

So yeah I "rebough" the sims 3 two days ago and I face a huge problem that I can't solve.
The game has no V-Sync option, so usually what I do is to put some fps cap myself so I dont destroy my GPU with 1000 fps.

But when I do that in the Sims 3 I got screen tearing. So I heard I needed to force V-Sync trought my GPU pannel (I have an Nvidia card).

My problem is, I dont know why but I cant force anything. If I use the parameter from the Nvidia Panel it simply dont work (I get a lot of tearing and no v-sync even tought I force it trought Nvidia pannel).

So I used Nvidia inspector but it still does not work.

My question is do you have any idea on how I could get rid of that tearing and somehow force v-sync ? Or better if you know why my Nvidia Pannel does not seems to work with any game and how I could fix this ?

Thanks you ! :)

PS : I'm sad.

I've managed to solve the screen tearing by installing radeon pro. Here's what I did.

Install Radeon Pro[www.radeonpro.info]
Add a new profile (green plus icon)
go to your game exe file e.g mine's "C:\Sims 3\The Sims 3\Game\Bin" and look for "TS3W.exe".
Under Tweaks bar, select
V-sync: "Always on"
Display refresh rate: 60hz
"Lock up frame rate to monitor's refresh rate"

Ensure the ingame refresh rate is set to 60hz as well.

Give it a shot.

I'm on Nvidia I said it in the message :/

Edit : I saw your message in the other topic.

My problem is that even if I go the pannel to modify some settings it does not work. Like if I did not apply the setting or something.

Let say I want to activate V-Sync on Sims 3 and activate it in the Nvidia control pannel then launch the game. Well in the game it will not have V-Sync enable, no matter what I do.

Ok I manage to make it work.

So after having check my Nvidia Control panel, put all the option like Pyrob said. I launched the game windowed (and no v-sync was activated sadly)

But I launch just after a little software called "Borderless Gaming" wich allow to very easily put game in Borderless mode.

I think the fact I launch the game first, then Borderless made it lock at 60fps with V-sync because usually I launch BG first then the game. Anyway It works for now.
