Question Display tearing Issue with 7800xt

[montniner]

I get this tearing randomly (cannot replicate it at all)
Occurs on discord/chrome (probably other applications but I haven't been using anything else recently)
I have the latest stable AMD drivers and I also upgraded to the latest 25.1.1 patch (both versions have the bug)
My monitor is a XV271U M3bmiiprx.
This is a brand new build. I was recording in OBS when the tearing occurred, and I realized that in the recording, the video came out PERFECTLY FINE and there was no tearing at all. However, on my screen it was visibly recording. As a result, I think its a monitor issue? Its brand new though.
I can fix the error by opening snipping tool then exiting immediately. Testing my pc on IGPU mode to see if its a gpu issue.

Do you have freesync enabled? Also I know this sounds basic, but go into your display preferences and make sure it’s set to 180hz which from what I saw online is the spec for that screen. When I got my msi 180hz monitor, windows 11 wanted to put it at 60 hz iirc until I changed the setting.

If you wanted you should be able to get prior versions of the amd drivers if you want to be sure that the drivers aren’t a factor.

OBS captures/records video directly from source, before it is sent to your monitor. Tearing is caused by your graphics processor processing frames faster than your monitor can display.
The monitor displays each frame from top to bottom and when frames are being generated faster than what your monitor can display, they begin to overwrite the upper frames before finishing the lower frames.
To combat this, the use of vsync synchronizes the graphics processing to match the maximum refresh rate of the monitor. This provides a tear free image but also introduces increased input lag, thus a balance of this synchronization is needed, and that's when additional features such as AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync become useful tools.
