So as the title says, I got a new TV a few months ago, and I have had this problem with most games I have tried to play on my TV.
The TV in question is a Vizio 50" 4k M50-C1.
The screen tearing is similar to what Vsync is supposed to fix, although it usually only happens in horizontal lines across the screen at specific points, however the points move often. Hard to explain, and I can't capture it. Enabling VSync does not fix it at all. It makes most games pretty much unplayable.
I have tried numerous configurations, and all have the same problem. I have 3 monitors. They are:
Main Display: Dell 4k P2715Q
Side Display: Acer V176L
3rd Display/TV: Vizio 50" 4k M50-C1.
Now, the Vizio TV is only one with tearing. My 4k Dell monitor plays games beautifully. I don't ever play games on the side display.
The Vizio TV has 2 types of HDMI inputs. It has a yellow HDMI port that is 60HZ, and 4 black ports that are 30hz. I have tried using both, and they both have tearing. I would prefer to use the 60hz port for my PC, because it is exclusively for gaming and yields a higher frame rate. I am using this 15ft Amazon HDMI cable that goes from my video card to my TV. All of my oither displays are using Display ports.
I figure the problem lies in refresh rates, but I don't know. I have all of my displays set to 60hz in the Nvidia Control Panel. The games also have a setting for refresh rates in the display settings, and they also say 60hz. Changing it to 30hz has no effect on the tearing.
My dream configuration would be to clone/mirror the two 4k displays and have them display the same thing, and have the side monitor always extended. I have tried to mirror, and I have tried to set my Vizio TV as the primary monitor, or extended and all configurations have the screen tearing.
Other important specs:
Video cards: SLI Nvidia GTX 980x2 (also tried just one), always on newest drivers
Intel i7 3770k CPU
16GB RAM
Windows 10
Also, I say most games have this problem, but not all. Probably 95% of the games I have tried do have the tearing.
I am currently playing Rise of the Tomb Raider, and it runs great with absolutely no screen tearing. It is also one of the only games I have seen with the "exclusive fullscreen" option. I'm not even sure what this option is, but it has to be off. If it is on, I get the horrible screen tearing again. I assume that option is similar to fullscreen borderless option in most games, but that option doesn't fix other games. Just trying to give you guys as much information as I can.
