Screen Tear Issues HELP!!!!

[Spxczz]

Ever since i got my new pc
Intel i5 7600k
16gb ram
gtx 1080 8gb

when i play games it starts to screen tear
is it the monitors fault or what ??

Activate V-Sync.

v-sync helps in some games but not all games
why would that be ?

[Cathulhu]

V-Sync will work in any game that supports it. It's developed to eliminate tearing.

but sometimes it doesnt work

was thinking of maybe getting a g-sync monitor

Then you should ask in the discussion hub of the game on how to fix it.

buying a G-Sync monitor won't solve your issues as its made for getting rid of stutters while using V-Sync. Its not the whole explanation but your issue is about screen tearing and not stutters.

Can you tell me what's your screen resolution for your monitor?

The standard gaming monitor should be 1080p resolution and its kinda overkill for a GTX 1080 @60Hz unless you got a better refresh rate.

To get rid of your stutter, there's some games that enables V-Sync TRIPLE BUFFERING that gets rid of the screen tearing as possible by syncing with the monitor's refresh rate as fast as it can but it'll take up some performance hit. It shouldn't matter since you're using an overkill graphics card.

The default games supports V-Sync double buffering and if TRIPLE BUFFERING is available then use it. If no games support V-Sync then this is where your grahpics card settings comes to play. It'll force the game to run at this settings and so on.

I'm an AMD user so I can't be much of a help. Its should be something called NVIDIA Graphics Card settings and override the application to force use V-Sync ON to all games. If there's a OpenGL settings then enable that too.

oh ok so will it help if i got lets say a 144hz monitor and currenbtly yes its 1080p

Screen Tearing occurs if your FPS is beyond your screen's required refresh rate. So, you're basically have a lot of FPS than your monitor's can handle. (yes, to sum it up its your monitor's fault) but at some high graphics extensive games, your graphics card can sometimes get an FPS drop which you cannot control of.

This is why proper V-Sync from Double Buffer to Triple Buffer has been created. Although like I've said, not all games have this and based on your experience..

this is what you've said:

It won't work all the time. Tweaking your graphics card settings will fix the issue regarding about V-Sync and OpenGL settings but buying a 144Hz monitor also helps.

ok thnx this will save me a lot of money
but also when my friend plays he has the exact same monitor only diferemce he has is the cpu why does he not get screen tear ?

Either he have his graphics settings properly tweak or different graphics card that is really compatible with the monitor.

hmm i see then ill just get a 144hz monitor and btw will a higher res monitor also help ?

I can't just answer this question without educating you. (You might even blame me for your current choice so I'll tell you about what you're really asking for)

Every monitor has their own refresh rate. The standard is a 60Hz monitor. A better explanation of what Hertz is about for monitor is something like this.. Although its NOT the real explanation but its simple analogy I can think of.

Where.. 1 Hz = 1 FPS
Let's say you have @60Hz monitor then your monitor can only handle at maximum of 60 FPS. Even under 60 FPS is fine but beyond that is where screen tearing occurs because your monitor can't handle the amount of FPS.

V-Sync (Vertical Synchronization) was made to limit your graphics card power and synchonize itself which is self explanatory to the monitor. Even with a powerful graphics card, the V-Sync can't cope up so they implemented Triple Buffering to buffer fast enough to synchronize to your monitor.

Like I've said, not all games have V-Sync or supports it so tweaking your graphics card settings to FORCE it will do the trick.

Buying a 144Hz? Basically, you're increasing the capacity of FPS that your monitor can handle.

Upgrading your screen resolution? You'll get less FPS for larger view (more pixels in the screen) which eats up your graphics card performance. Therefore dropping your FPS possibly around 30~ FPS so you won't get screen tearing since your FPS got lessened.

ok but why dont i get screen tear on csgo for eg it gives me 290fps thats beyond the monitors refresh rate why is this ?
