Desperate for a solution to stop screen tearing

[Dulahan]

I've tried every solution I can find online. V-sync on/off, Adaptive V-snyc, Triple Buffering. Nothing works. As soon as I move in any game, a single line splits the image horizontally. At this point I'm thinking my monitor is just a broken piece of garbage, but I figured I'd make a last attempt to fix this in a way that won't cost me any money.

My specs:

GTX 980
i5-4690K
Asus VE247H (1080p @60Hz)
MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition

Which game are you playing?
Have you tried a different monitor?

Hardware wise G-sync would solve the issue but you would need a new monitor.

Seeing your specs, you shouldn't be seeing any issues unless your settings are incorrect or the game that you are playing is not fully optimized from the publisher. I previously had this problem with a 60Hz monitor from HP. Tried everything and still couldn't get it right. I bought the asus 144Hz gaming monitor and havnt seen any tearing since.

I see an Acer XB270HU in your future. Too bad the prices are climbing on these things.

Can you test on a different monitor to see if it is a monitor issue? Swap with a friend and see if the problem goes away/transfers to him.

Yep. I've had my eye on it for a little while but I can't justify the price right now.

I was testing it on Witcher 3, CS:GO and Killing Floor 2. I'll eventually be moving up to a 1440p @144Hz G-sync but it's just not in the budget right now. On the bright side, I think it may have been my DVI chord just being useless. I realised that the HDMI chord I plugged in hasn't ever been used since my monitor was defaulting to DVI. After I changed the input to HDMI the screen tearing seems to have subsided. Such a small thing caused such a huge problem.

The DVI port on either my monitor or GPU is broken. Or the chord is. I manually changed the input on my monitor to HDMI and the tearing has subsided. I had no idea that all this time the HDMI wasn't being used and it's annoying that it was such a small thing causing the problem. Thanks for the response though.

Glad you got sorted.

If you are able to take a screenshot using the PrtScr button on your keyboard, and then CTRL + V that into paint and post it here. If we can see it, it's your graphics card. If we can't see it, it's your monitor.
