I recently re-installed windows 7. Before the install I would get screen tear but turning on or off vsync in game usually solved this, screen tear has never really been an issue for me if so it has been very minor. After my install I now notice I have screen tear not just in my games but youtube videos and when i play videos using vlc. So basically everything. I have tried all the different settings on my nvidia card (adaptive, on, off ect) globally and for specific programs with vsync on and off in game in conjunction with all the different settings. Sometimes i see improvement on screen tear, maybe it will occur at the top of the screen sometimes the middle sometimes the bottom after a setting change but always still there. I can't get rid of it at all when using youtube or vlc however settings changes seem to have zero effect. I have a 60hz LED panasonic TV TXL37E30B to be specific and my nvidia settings set to 60hz and windows set to 60hz... I am completely baffled. 1 thing though is when my computer boots it displays at 50hz on bios screen, can't seem to find a setting in bios to change refresh rate. But when it gets to windows my TV promptly tells me it has switched to 60hz so don't think this is the issue. I am baffled, hence forum :) please help!

Windows install was done about a week ago and I have noticed the screen tear from day 1. All drivers are installed but I am thinking I might try reinstall my GPU drivers. I did just update to latest nvidia driver though so not sure if this will help but its worth a try I guess. Is there any other drivers it would be worth considering for reinstall other than gpu drivers?

Try a monitor rather than the TV. TV's have lousy response times.

Bios won't change the TV refresh rate

Have you overclocked the 570?

Is it just when game playing? If so, which game and what settings? What fps?

If your not getting more than the 60fps, Vsync won't work anyway.

Before the windows install I was never getting screen tear this bad. Especially when using youtube or watchingvlc videos it is extremely noticable but before I never saw it. Also I don't have a monitor to test that unfortunately. Graphics card is not overclocked. And I see the screen tear on all games. Wildstar, Titanfall, Watchdogs, wolfenstein. More noticeable on Watchdogs, Titanfall and Wolfenstein. As I say its really noticeable on youtube videos and when I use vlc and no setting change on the card seems to make any difference where as on games it seems to have some effect but not the desired effect

I have my TV set to game mode also can't see any settings on TV to change to help. Plus it was fine before windows install and no settings have been changed on TV since the previous install

I'm having a similar problem. Screen tearing during youtube videos, when playing videos on VLC, and during games. I too have tried fiddling with the vsync settings in the Nvdia control panel, but the screen tear persisted, so I'm having the same general problem as you.

Did you end up figuring out what the issue is and/or how to solve it?
