Diagonal Screen Tearing GTX 1050

[🐼PANDArek]

Sometimes when I play left part of my screen ( line from top left to bottom right) becomes fuzzy and it's kinda lagging ( drop FPS) when I move.

★ I tried turning on-off V-sync and still no fix
★ I set main GPU to Geforce
★ Everything is fine in windowed mode
★ effect is temporary but still annoying


I assume it's Graphic card's fault or its drivers but I don't know how to fix that.

The Laptop is new:
ASUS GL553VD
GPU GTX 1050


THanks in advance.

If the laptop is new and your are experiencing issues with it RMA it.

Here are some of the possibilities.

1. You could be overheating.

Use MSI afterburner to see temps, and usage for CPU, GPU, and RAM. Tell us what was the highest temp you got for CPU, GPU, and what was the usage percentage for CPU, GPU, and RAM.

2. It could be drivers issues, which you just use DDU in safemode *yes you do want to get DDU for doing video drivers removal* to wipe the Nvidia drivers, download the latest, or older drivers that you know that works, don't let Windows update do it for you.

Click on Automatic Driver Updates, to play it safe, if not sure which type of GPU it is, but if you want to put in the details.

- GeForce
- GeForce GTX 1000 Series
- GeForce GTX 1050
- OS you're using.
- Your language.
- Recommended/Certifled

3. You might got a virus / trojan / malware, that's hogging your hardware resources, which you want to do a scan by using Malwarebytes, and Hitman pro.

Thank you for the answers.
I'll try your steps and let you know what worked.

Hi there!
Hi @ all / friends & beloved haters

Because it's a LapTrouble make sure:

1. The power management mode is set to Max Performance for the GPUs
   
2. All / Both GPU (eg.: nVIDA & LOCKA) drivers are UpToDate!
   
3. In the nVidia Control Panel:
   
   1. set "Preferred graphics processor" to NVIDIA GPU under Manage 3D $hit
      
   2. set "Let the 3D application die..." under Adjust image settings with preview
      
   3. hit the Apply button and test the game
4. If it's still fuzzy, again in the nVidia Control Panel:
   
   1. set slider to Left/"Perfomance" under Adjust image settings with preview
      
   2. hit the Apply button and test the game
      
   3. *** OR / AND ***
      
   4. set slider to Right/"Quality" under Adjust image settings with preview
      
   5. hit the Apply button and test the game
5. .. other GPU Managers aren't interfering with nVIDIAs-Settings (eg. Intel / AMD - Graphics Control Panel)

that's all for the moment, good luck & cheers☺☻☺ ...

That may sound silly but do I have to set GeForce GTX 1050 or Notebooks ? Becouse I downloaded notebook version before. I don't know if there is difference between Notebook and Gaming Laptop.

It's the same. Notebook = laptop

I tried everything except that

Bios update didn't help too.

Maybe I wasn't more specific:

After a while of playing that part of the screen acts weird. It's like it has lower FPS than another part. Maybe it has something to do with V-Sync.
Same issue in windowed mode. I'll play around with nvidia settings and MSI afterburner.

Just RMA the laptop..

This isn't a software issue. There is something wrong with the hardware. Maybe a defective screen or GPU.

[Dr.Shadowds 🐉]

If you done everything that the end user could do, then your only option left is to RMA the laptop, and explain in full details.

Also you can try this two ways to test something as this may help them understand a bit more, record the issue by using a recording software, and if it shows up on that, then it's a software issue for sure, but to play safe play it off the tv, or some other device that's not on the laptop, next is to record it by device such as using your phone, or whatever as this will be hard recording, as this will be see what you're seeing if it doesn't show up with the software recording, this way it will no doubt mean a hardware issue, and they have to fix the issue with your proof of recording.

Use that image to show what part of the screen have issue as well, give them an estimate how long it could take before acting up. With all this said you broken down most of the check list for them.

^Do this.

*Little Update

I've found people have same issue here.

So I don't think it has to do something with hardware. RMA is the last option.

If you are having diagonal screen tearing the GPU is defective. It's a "bug" with Nvidia mobile GPUs.

Are you 100% sure ? I Have read that diagonal screen tearing persist since 2015 and nor Microsoft nor Nvidia are going to fix the issue, they keep blaming each other. People write it is a incompatibility between Nvidia drivers and Windows 10. Something is wrong with games running OpenGL... and "Optimus configuration" bla bla.

I'm scared of RMA becouse they can take laptop for couple of days and after all say
"Nope warranty does not cover that, deal with it"
or switch to a new device and
" Hello screen tearing my old friend"

About a year ago it was big news that some Alienware laptops had this issue.

It was caused by a "bug" in the GPU itself. It's not something that could be fixed by software.

The way around this issue was to play in (boderless)windowed mode.

Since the laptop is new just RMA it.

[🐼PANDArek]

Let it be said now.

Much appreciated.

[🐼PANDArek]

I fixed it playing around with Nvidia Inspector

Choose a game where tearing occurs and set
Optimus flags for enabled applications: 0x000000 SHIM_MCCOMPAT_INTEGRATED
