V-Sync Broken Causing Screen Tearing.

Recommended Posts

I notice whenever i have V-sync enabled the game screen tears like crazy making the game sickening to play. This is very unusual because the whole purpose of V-sync is to eliminate screen tearing. Whenever its off everything runs nice and smooth with almost no tearing. Anyone else have this problem?

Turn it off, add a 72 fps cap. Fixed it for me.

(adding motion blur might help too)

 

 

Frame cap on Warframe greys out the Vsync option. Can't have framecap + vsync on at the same time within the game options.

 

Yeah, I said turn off Vsync and add an fps cap. 

That means vsync is not on but I don't see any screen tearing (yeah it might be there, but is not visible)

 

Problem is the game seems to choke and always produces sub-cap fps, in my case about 65. That's more or less exactly the amount needed.

 

R9 280x, for reference.

Windowed/fullscreen/borderless fullscreen?

 

I did notice that v sync enabled in Warframe AND my Nvidia graphics driver at the same time caused issues. The game liked one or the other being on, but not both.

 

I wonder if there is a similar thing going on with your AMD card. Check your catalyst control panel (if it's still called that) to see if your driver also has a vsync option enabled.

Borderless fullscreen and Its off in catalyst control panel unless the app specifies. Frame cap is not the same as V-sync.
