How to get rid of screen tearing?

[MarcRJB]

Ok so I record using shadowplay but when I chose VSync or Adaptive VSync for Skyrim the output video is extremely choppy even though the game runs smoothly. I've tested it out on games such as minecraft, advanced warfare and skyrim with VSync off and the output video was completely smooth. When although I chose VSync off it gives me alot of screen tearing even though most of the time I am above 60FPS (My monitor is 60HZ by the way) is there anyway to fix this without turning VSync on as the video is always choppy or is there anyway I can turn VSync on and get smooth output from my recordings?

Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

Are you able to use triple buffered Vsync - that should resolve the tearing issues that you are getting. If not, maybe consider lowering your recording settings - it may be that you are writing to the HDD so much that the game can't access it's resources quickly enough - leading to the lower FPS and therefore tearing.

Not that I know of, but I'm not into recording, so I may be utterly wrong . The issue here is that you're "mostly" above 60fps rather than "always, and the only way to turn on vsync while having a smoother framerate (at least if you're recording with Shadowplay) would be getting a better GPU...

You COULD try limiting the framerate entirely via other means, such as the RivaTuner statistics server that comes with MSI Afterburner. You would have to put it to 30 fps tho, which would still make your games feel choppy...

I'll try triple buffering now, but no I record to an SSD with a write speed of 400MB/S and the in game FPS is brilliant although just the recording output is bad and all of my other recordings are fine.

It wouldnt be my GPU in seeing I have a GTX 970

Get a Gsync compatible monitor. Or a 144 Hz monitor.

I set my FPS limiter to 70FPS instead of 60FPS which allowed me to remove the screen tearing.
