Screen tearing in games even with a new monitor

[The Punisher]

So i used to play on a hdtv before with an hdmi cable and it was a screen tearing mess! The games were unplayable. So today i upgraded to an BenQ GL2450 monitor and i also bought an dvi-d cable. However the screen tearing is STILL noticible in games... what is wrong and how do i fix it? My specs are: gtx 760, amd athlon x4 750k and corsair vengeance 8gb. Sorry for my bad english.

V-Sync, turn it on.

I have it on and it does NOTHING to help my problem.

hmm, that was kinda one of my issues in the past. What i did to solve it was i bought a HDMI to DVI cable and just plugged into my tv so i could watch tv and play at the same time.

Screen tearing has nothing to do with the display device; it's a problem when screen updates are not in sync with the rendering, so you might be seeing the old frame in the upper half of the display, and the new frame in the lower half.

VSync does fix this. If it doesn't, you're either dealing with a broken game, or you have driver setting overriding the application settings -- which is an extremely stupid thing, but NVidia and ATI offer it, unfortunately.

Some games will only use adaptive v-sync (Wolfenstein: The New Order) which will allow tearing when your fps is below your monitor's refresh rate. Try disabling the v-sync in the game's settings menu and force v-sync through a cp profile.

Many game's v-sync implementation is downright awful (Dead Space 1) and should not be used at all. Force v-sync via your nVIDIA cp profile for any games with tearing issues when the in-game v-sync setting still allows tearing. Open your nVIDIA cp, go to 'manage 3d settings', click 'program settings', click 'add', find the .exe for the game you wish to tweak, and then enable v-sync.

Thanks bro i will try this out, hopefully it works!
