Hi there, I’m having an issue with screen tearing. When I am on google chrome I get screen tearing on all webpages when I scroll up and down with my mouse wheel and sometimes in youtube videos too. In Dark Souls 3 I have vsync off and I get no screen tearing. In World of warcraft, with Vsync or or off (and yes i’ve tried putting it on in nvidia control panel for global AND for the program itself) I STILL get screen tearing. The only thing that helps in warcraft I found was to have vsync off and cap the FPS at 56, capping it above that like 59 or 60 actually makes the tearing worse and vsync on makes the tearing worse too. Some online suggested it might be my cable, and I am using a VGA *monitor input* to HDMI *for graphics card*. I’ve changed the cable and it hasn’t helped. Here is my computer setup:
3.50 gigahertz Intel Core i5-4690K
Board: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Z97-A Rev 1.xx
16gb 1600mhz ram
Asus strix NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 (this happened with my EVGA gtx 970 SSC too)
Windows 7 64 bit
My monitor is a Dell s2340M.
I’ve also seen some people say to change my windows theme from Aero to classic but it doesn’t help either. I am running the latest drivers for my graphics card (Version 364.72) and I install windows updates regularly.
Checking over the hardware… You have a Dell s2340M correct? I’m not sure why you are using an HDMI to VGA (D-Sub) adapter or converter. The monitor supports DVI and both of your Video cards have DVI. So maybe try using a DVI to DVI cable. What you are doing right now is converting a digital output into an analog input. Using the DVI out to the DVI in would keep things all digital, it might fix the problem..
Screen tearing tends towards screen refresh being slower than GPU update, where a new frame is loaded mid-way through the full screen draw process. What makes it worse is that VGA being analog is that, during the interface, the digital signal has to be converted and then sent out again as an RGB signal, and during this phase you have an additional draw process at that conversion phase. This is why early VGA-only LCD monitors were TERRIBLE at gaming, and it was impossible to completely remove tearing issues.
Tivon is right, a DVI-to-DVI or HDMI-to-DVI cable will solve your problem, as there will now be direct output from the GPU to the monitor’s signal processor. Set up a 60Hz signal refresh, and if needed VSync in your video card driver set or software controls, with an all-digital cable, and you’ll be fine!
