Changing from HDD to SSD causing screen tearing and locked FPS

[Terminator_]

I changed my main drive, from a 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM to a Sandisk SSD Plus 480GB, and now in all games, I'm getting screen tearing, where when I move my cursor up and down, I can see a visible line where the screen tears. My games also won't go over 60fps, what ever the settings. I used to be able to get 110 fps in PUBG, now its stuck on 60, no matter if on ultra, or low. It does fix when I turn Vsync on, but its Vsync, and input lag is nasty
Anyone know whats up?

Did you clone your old HDD to the SSD or did a fresh install of Windows?

If you cloned, you're going to want to run both CHKDSK and SFC(if you haven't already)

You should also check on the SSD to make sure it's "good". You can do a quick check with CrystalDiskInfo: https://osdn.net/projects/crystaldiskinfo/releases/
try the 2nd link " CrystalDiskInfo7_6_0.zip "

You could also use the official SanDisk app to check on the health of the drive: https://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/15108/~/sandisk-ssd-dashboard-support-information

I can't see how it's related. But.... use CrystalDiskInfo to check if you are having any problems with the drive.

My OS was on a different Drive though, on a m.2 ssd. The only things I moved were my games, is that still the problem?

I did a check and all sector are good, and health is good
Although It is saying that theres 0GB free and 0GB used

If this forum had a Spock face icon, I'd be using it right now.

Something is going on with that SSD

If you did a clone from the 1TB to SSD that can be a issue on some cloning software. Might be worth it to just blank the drive out and start over. its also possible you have drivers that aren't compatible, though the IDE and ACHI issues long over since no one has a IDE boot drive these days.
