is this screen tearing?

[knighttime]

im playing hitman 2016 im in bangkok and was inside the hotel and i stood close to the exit door with the really bright sun shining in, and when i walk past it, or point the gun at the door and walk past it i can see these lines flickering. if it is tearing should i buy a gsync monitor? currently i have a freesync monitor and a gtx 1080 gpu card.

Try using Fast Sync in the NVIDIA driver, for the GTX 1000 series cards it’s implemented more effectively at the driver level. 👍🎄🤓

fast sync is enabled in my nvidia settings but i will make sure. when im playing bangkok now i notice waves when walking past a door. think i fixed it this is what i did. went to nividia control panel and went to manage 3d settings and went to program settings and global settings and changed vertical sync to off in both. and switched vertical sync to on in the hitman 2016 settings now i dont see anymore screen tearing. problem solved or will it happen again? also did i make the correct changes?

If you don't want tearing and don't mind input lag, then vsync on will work. Fast sync prevents tearing with less lag and is what you should use if you don't have Gsync.

i had fast sync enabled in the nividia control panel for the longest time and it was working now i just noticed tearing again is it because vsync in hitman 2016 was not on? should i have not made those changes i stated above? in any event, how much is a gsync monitor and is it a good investment or no? if i would get less fps with a gsync monitor then i dont think im interested. if there are other changes i have to make in the settings to make this work right so i dont get screen tearing please tell me. i dont wanna spend money on a gsync monitor if all it takes is making some corrections.

Turn on VSYNC in the NVIDIA control panel advanced 3D settings for your game. Fast Sync is not perfected yet and is only the same thing as adaptive VSync only it invlolves frame rate drops in stead of framerate increases.

That sounds like aliasing, not screen tearing.

Screen tearing is when the entire screen has a line across it. The tear is merely the point at where two different partial images are displaying at the same time. This is due to frames not being syncronized.

To help with what you are observing, you want either a stronger AA solution or raise your rendering resolution. Aliasing is a side effect of how pixels work. You'll never truely fix it, and the ultimate solution is a higher resolution monitor with a high PPI.

i changed vertical sync to on in the nvidia control panel not to off my bad. advanced 3d settings? i can try that. guess what i changed vertical sync back to fast in the nvidia control panel and vsync is on in the hitman 2016 graphic settings and now everything is working fine again. revelene said this is not screen tearing. i dunno revelene should i buy gsync monitor or waste of money? only issue i have is everyone says vsync in hitman 2016 should be off and i have it on. but when i have it off i see those lines so wtf is going on? im not even sure if vsync was on or off in hitman 2016 before i just started complaining about this tearing. i like pc gaming but why is it so complicated?

wait a minute people get frame rate drops because of having fast sync on? i thought there was a different reason for frame rate drops for example, if someone has a weak cpu and gpu. i have a strong gpu and strong cpu i get frame rate drops but i dont know why.

i play hitman 2016 with everything in the hitman settings set to high and ultra and get well over 100 fps in most ares. i just set everything to low to see what it would do and im getting more fps on low. can someone please explain this?

Then render at a higher resolution. Or get a higher resolution monitor.

SMAA will not fix the inherent pixel crawl at lower resolutions.

ok thanks but can you please tell me why i get higher fps on hitman 2016 when i switch hitman to low settings?? i get lower fps when things are set to high and ultra in the hitman settings.

Um, are you being serious?

Lower settings, less demand, easier to run.

Higher settings, more demand, harder to run.
