ASUS VG245H monitor Issues

[kloutkobain]

I have this monitor and I've tried it all and I cant seem to fix the screen tearing that I get in the middle and 1/3 down of the top of the screen. Is there anything I can possibly do to stop it?

Screen "tearing" or a defect? If you're experiencing "tearing" in game, capping a framerate would help.

Yeah I've done that and even capped it below 75 fps and even at 60 fps with 75hz on and still no fix.

Capping the FPS doesn't get rid of screen tearing even if the FPS matches the monitor refresh rate. You need to enable VSYNC to get rid of screen tearing. VSYNC results in an FPS cap that matches your monitor refresh rate but it's synchronized in order to prevent screen tearing (new and old frame data mixed with same refresh).

VSYNC advantage is no screen tearing.
VSYNC disadvantage is added lag (a bit more sluggish).


When you do that it's best to configure the game settings so they rarely dip below that FPS. Which is apparently 75FPS to match 75Hz.

Another option still involves VSYNC but (for NVidia) it's called Adaptive VSYNC and it just toggles VSYNC OFF if you drop below 75FPS (for 75Hz monitor) to prevent added STUTTERING but you'll get screen tearing again though it's often a good tradeoff to get some quick tearing rather than stuttering.

NCP-> manage 3d settings-> add game-> ... adaptive vsync-> save

(similar feature for AMD with Radeon Pro called Dynamic VSYNC which works exactly the same. Not sure if there is another AMD tool or if their drivers have it)

When I use that I start the game with VSYNC OFF at first then configure settings so I am at the target (75FPS/75Hz) at least 90% of the time as a good balance between visuals and screen tear frequency.
