Really bad screen tearing need a fix asap

Have you tired re-installing the drivers after the restore?

Also what are the temperatures like when the tearing occurs?

 

[apache_lives]

test your hardware, theres a reason your having issues

FURMARK PRIME95 HDTUNE MEMTEST

Why would I reinstall the drivers? And which drivers all of them? The only thing I changed was I installed the latest graphic driver, 331.82.

I'm not sure about temps, I could run a game and check them if you think that will get to the bottom of it, but the screen tearing occurs as soon as I start playing the game.

I was refering to the graphics drivers, they may have been corrupted during the retore. As you changed the driver and it stopped working try reverting back to the old one, or try a beta driver.

As the tearing occurs straight away, I doubt it's a temp problem.

Only other thing I can think of is try disabling PhysX

Furmark loads up your video card, if it cant handle 100% load then its faulty (or psu insufficent, dust issue or whatever etc)

Its a standard compulsory test in my workshop, all computers with video cards/dedicated video MUST pass a furmark run (~1 hour)

General rule: Any computer should be able to complete any given task at any time without issue, you should never have to be "gentle" and worry about something crashing and overheating/failing thats total bs

Run the test for an hour see how it goes

What you have to understand here is there is a REASON for why you had to use system restore, dont just run things to resolve an underlying issue, find and deal with the problem

I grazed over information so I'm sorry if you answered this. Have you tried enabling V-Sync? It locks your FPS to the Refresh Rate of the Monitor to stop screen tearing, This means your FPS is capped.

I really don't trust furmark after doing some research, I don't know why I would need to anyway? From what I can see it's only used to see the gpu threshold for overclocking, but I don't overclock. I don't even know how to properly use the software or what I'd be looking for.

That doesn't really make any sense.
If you're having issues, testing will only confirm any problems if you're having any, not create.
Think of FurMark as a stablility test.
Also, FurMark is created by Geeks3D. Your site is the correct one.

 

[BigBlueHouse]

You're not wrong. FurMark can destroy your GPU due to overheating. Although, this is usually only when overclocking.

You can run it if you want to just keep an eye on the temperature. If it hits 80°C then stop it.

I use it to test if my overclock is stable. Just run it and see what FPS you get.

Run furmark, seriously, do it.

If it dies from overheating (which it shouldn't due to protections put in place) it will almost certainly be covered by warranty.

Whats your fps while playing? Also any overclocking going on?

 

[BigBlueHouse]

Does furmark scan for errors or something? What is the point in running it other than seeing if my card can be overclocked? Also it's just one game it's not every game so I'm guessing it's something to do with the game.

My FPS is normal, and like I've said I don't overclock.

Have you tried disabling PhysX in the game?

Which setting would that be if it wasn't labelled "PhysX"?

If it's not there it probably doesn't use PhysX. What game is it?

 

[apache_lives]

do the tests on your system find out why you got a corruption in the first place

are you even listening to our advice?

[cst1992]

Furmark has an alarm system.
Mine is a passive 210 and the alarm I've set is at 70C(although that temp is reached only in Furmark).
Set yours to 80C. An hour of FurMark shouldn't destroy a card. If the temps do reach dangerous levels, underclock your card.
The alarm can be set in Settings->Max GPU Temperature.

 

[apache_lives]

A R9-290X will run at 94ºc full load (probably throttling to get that temp) - wont bother them at all

A HP DV6 with a i7-7xx and ATi dedicated graphics will exceed 100ºc (FACTORY RUBBISH) and keep going

GTX480's in the day could reach ~108ºC

All these temps are in air conditioning ~22ºc ambient

Things get hot its a fact, its also fact they can tolerate those temperatures fine for testing, if they cant there faulty. Simple.

Ok listen carefully

CHKDSK did NOT "delete" your files, if they were corrupted FROM A HARDWARE FAULT it will repair the file system, any already corrupted files were removed

TEST YOUR HARDWARE TAKE SOME ADVICE YOU CAME HERE FOR

why do you come here if you ask for advice then not take it?
