If the timing is off, then you get screen tearing, because the monitor asks for a frame at the same time the GPU is copying it's frame from the back-buffer to the frame-buffer. The monitor is asking for a frame every 16.67 ms (1/59.94=0.01668), however, the GPU is rendering frames as fast as it can, it doesn't care if it's in sync with the monitor or not. If above was true, then pushing 60 FPS on a 60 Hz monitor wouldn't cause any screen tearing, but the GPU is rendering frames dynamically, where as the monitor remains static. There are even games where GSync doesn't function properly, so it's definitely not black and white. Now, obviously the games play a huge part to, but I won't get into that. That is because the higher you go above 60 FPS, the more frequent the tearing. Limiting FPS does nothing, as long as you're not limiting anything above 60 FPS in-game to 60 FPS, on a 60 Hz monitor. It happens because the GPU and the monitor aren't in sync, hence why VSync, FreeSync, GSync exists, to make sure the frame variation doesn't happen (more than just FPS). Screen tearing happens both above and below the refresh rate in FPS. In general more FPS on games the better for your eyes, but the monitor has to keep up with your GPU in order to achieve the best result. 60Hz are a good number, but if you can manage more, by all means use it.

Either turn on Vsync on the games settings and on your GPU's driver software (nVidia geforce experience or the 3D settings on the nVidia control panel, or if you have AMD/ATI find the relevant settings on the CRIMSON software) or try to limit somehow the rendering inside the above mentioned boundaries. It is purpose is to allways keep both GPU and the monitor synchronized while rendering frames, either those frames are for games or videos or anything presented on a monitor.Īs you can see here your monitor is capable of displaying 56 to 75 Hz Vertical according to the manufacturer.

In order this 'phenomenon' to be overiden Vsync (Vertical Synchronisation) was introduced. Tearing is introduced every time the GPU renders frames in a frequency above the frequency the monitor is capable of. Just thought id describe the issue to make sure thats what this is. ill cap the fps limit if it has the setting and itll stay between 60-50 but again major screen tearing all over the place. by screen tearing i mean ill turn off Vsync and the fps will be all over the place from 70-48 ect. With or without EVGA precision X16 as long as it fixes it. So If someone would have a fix for the issue (if there is one) that would be awesome and highly appreciated. I have EVGA precision X16 via steam, heard there were some settings in there i could fix this with although im nervous to fool around with them and fuck up my system a bit.

However on some games if i turn Vsync on itll obviously double buffer everything causing some issues with performance making it so i have to reduce the settings some. I am having some issues with major screen tearing while playing games without vsync on.
