Screen tearing - laptop output via HDMI to OBS

[Ed Fire]

Hi everyone,

I've been using OBS and a twin PC setup to stream, but am suffering with screen tearing. Here's my setup:

GAMING LAPTOP
Acer Predator G9-593
GTX-1070 GPU
16GB ram
Default settings in Nvidia control panel other than using DSR and V-sync set to "Fast" (out of interest, having this set to "Yes" or turning on V-sync IN GAME made the screen tearing far worse)


STREAMING PC
Ryzen 5 1600
GTX930 (I think - just basic)
16GB ram
HD60 Pro (captuing gameplay feed from Predator via HDMI)
HD60S (capturing camera feed)

OBS
Latest version

Sample video of improved tearing (having set Predator GTX-1070 to "fast" and turning v-sync off in game)

Screen tearing isn't visible on the Predator while streaming. Not sure if that's enough info to help get started, but let me know if you want more info?

Thanks so much in advance :o)

Not sure if anyone can help with this, but I'd appreciate any assistance.

Actually it's the opposite. V-Sync solely exists to remove screen tearing.

Is it possible to send HDMI signal as v-sync, leaving the monitor as uncapped? I genuinely don't see screen tearing on my gaming laptop, only the HDMI output.

You should post this on the OBS forums with a log of your session.
