Issues with tearing

[nhornby51743]

Hi,

I've recently bough a PC from, here and have been having issues with screen tearing during gaming. I've tried close to a dozen games such as Crysis 1&3, Battlefield 4, Assassins Creed IV, Wolfenstein, Far Cry 3, Dead Rising 3, & Tomb Raider. It seems to worse in some games eg AC4.

I've changed settings in both the Nvidia contrpl panel and in game. I'm running a GTX 770 so it's a relatively decent card and the monitor I'm using is a AOC I2369VM. Would this be an issue with the monitor perhaps, the settings or the card it self?

Many thanks, Nick

are you using Nvidia GeForce Experience? as this should set the optimum settings for each game

I've tried GeForce Experience, Nvidia control panel & even going through the settings manually on each game. Looked all over the net and not been able to get a solution :s

What cable are you using and what res are you running at?

 

[nhornby51743]

I'm running 1080p through HDMI.

have a look at this link

https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/aoc-i2369vm/

they say that there is an issue with Nvidia cards and show you in a video clip how to rectify it

this may be of some help?

 

[nhornby51743]

I've looked at this before but it's mainly in relation to colour reproduction, which I don't have. I really hope it's not my monitor as it will be a hassle on getting it sorted

 

[AAHALL]

have you tried using the display port cable not the HDMI as this would probably rule out the monitor

 

[nhornby51743]

I'll try that. How would that the rule the monitor out though?

i'd suggest using adaptive vsync mate.

You can read about it here - clicky and clicky

 

[nhornby51743]

Tried that too, with and without the triple buffering on.

i thought that afterwards, it may be to much of a sweeping statement. It was going on what the review said that to get around the driver problem you should use the display port not the HDMI, so in conclusion i was wrong in making that statement and it means you probably have a driver problem with the HDMI cable thats if the display port cable does not produce any tearing, sorry.

 

[nhornby51743]

No worries I'll try the display port. Who knows, it could be a crappy HDMI cable

 

[nhornby51743]

Thought I had a DVI cable, turns out it was VGA. I'll uninstall the drivers and see if that remedies it.

It'd be worth running furmark for a 15 minute run minimum, see how it copes. If it reboots then you know you've got issues with the card.

Any chance you could link me Spyder, never used it so I don't what sites are reliable.

Sure.... the developers are called Ozone3d, link below. It's widely regarded as a pretty tough stress test for graphics cards, very popular.

Ran it twice, got 4313 as my score. Max temp was 83c and 47 was average frames. Seems pretty decent and there was no crashes

Probably worth checking out another cable then, DVI if possible.

I've changed Adaptive V-Sync to Adaptive V-Sync(Half refresh rate and that has greatly reduced the tear) does this sound like a monitor issue then?
