Help Wanted: Screen Tearing and max gpu usage!

[Billybuoy]

My 1080p Dell monitor has 60hz refresh rate and most of the games I play gives a massive to moderate level screen tearing. I need your expert opinion on screen tearing and how to reduce it without switching to expensive monitors with g-sync or 1440p.

I came across some articles and found turning off vsync from games and turning on Nvidia 'Adaptive V-sync' from Nvidia control panel helps a little. What do you guys think?

Also in most of the newer AAA games, my gpu hits maximum 60% usage only with very high/ultra settings (except Crisis 3). Does that mean I need to crank up the settings even more?

Thanks in advance!

Just use Vsync? A 1070 can easily push over 60 fps in most games at 1080p so you are suffering from screen tearing.

Could you please give the monitor model here ? I think its the ms time which is a normal case for most of the dell monitors makes such delays in game and i don't think without changing monitor anything will help you on this

If the games can manage 60 FPS all the time:

*VSync: Force On via Nvidia drivers.
*Tripple Buffer: (If the game has double buffering Vsync, you may try forcing TB from NVCP. Else use Adaptive Vsync).

*Max Pre Rendered Frame: 1 (Use 3 if game feels unsmooth).

Lock Frame Rate to 60 FPS using RTSS.

^That way you will have less input lag with Vsync.


If game struggles to keep 60 FPS:

*Force Adaptive Vsync On via drivers.
*Max Pre Rendered frames: 1

^ Cannot lock FPS using RTSS to 60 cause there will screen tears. You may lock F0S to 65.

Just turn vsync on in game settings. Tearing will disappear. If fps drops below sometimes then use adaptive vsync u mentioned. I personally use adaptive vsync. It helps when fps drops below 60
