[SOLVED] Resident Evil 2 Remake bad screen tearing Claire B

[aafusc2988]

So I played this game back in February when it came out and beat Leon's normal run in about 9.6 hours per my Steam profile time logged. Didn't notice any issues.. now I am playing Claire B as my second run and am noticing bad screen tearing. No settings have changed...

i5-9600K 3.7Ghz (4.6 turbo)
EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 XC Black Edition 8GB GDDR6 Samsung VRAM
be quiet! Shadow Rock TF2 cooler
Corsair CX650M 80+ Bronze certified 650W PSU
Aegis G-Skill 2x8GB DDR4 3000Mhz
Acer S241HLbmid Black 24" 60Hz (1920 x 1080p)
Windows 10 x64 Home OEM
Game installed on SSD

I have changed the refresh rate from 60Hz to 59.94 Hz and frames are capped at 60 FPS. The rendering rate is at 150% though - but like I said everything was the same for Leon's first run. I had refresh rate at 60Hz then. Thought changing it to just below 60 would fix it... and Vsync is ON. I have a hard time believing with my rig the game ever goes below 60 FPS.. so why am I seeing tearing at all with Vsync on and the game capped to 60 FPS?

My hardware is well capable of playing games at 60 FPS capped - specs in signature are accurate and I do not want to type them out again. PC was just built in January 2019. I know my rig is WELL capable of running RE2 remake at 60 FPS or higher but I have a 60Hz monitor at 1920 x 1080p. In the game's settings I have refresh rate capped to 60Hz, FPS capped at 60, and Vsync ON. I have Vsync set to "use 3d application setting" within the Nvidia control panel. I know RE2 isn't dipping below 60 FPS, so why I am getting screen tearing with everything capped at my monitor's ability?

Games I don't have screen tearing - Overwatch on Ultra settings, Apex Legends, Anthem, Battlefield V, and many more... With the Overwatch in-game FPS counter I am capable of getting 160-200 FPS across the craziest of fights. Don't have issues with tearing despite it going WELL above my monitor's capability. Far Cry 5 doesn't have tearing though it does have random stutter/quick pauses that are kind of annoying. So what is going on in games like RE2 remake and Rainbow Six Siege which my computer should crush, despite the fact I have Vsync on and the proper settings in place?

And yes for Overwatch I know that seeing 160-200 FPS in the in-game FPS counter doesn't mean that's ACTUALLY what I am getting since my monitor is limiting it. If I had a way better monitor I would be. But it's well above 60 FPS and I don't get tearing in OW... so if RE2 is well above 60 FPS or at least staying above 60 FPS then to me I shouldn't be getting tearing in that, or in Rainbow Six Siege for that matter with Vsync enabled in both games and Nvidia control panel set to use 3D application setting.

I'm an idiot. For some reason Vsync was set to 'Off' in the Nvidia Control Panel.. I must've done that for another game awhile back for some strange reason. Changed it to 'Use 3D Application Setting' and RE2 is running perfect again. Glad I can now get back to enjoying it. Claire B is so much more fun than Leon A Normal run albeit a lot more difficult! Guess that is what makes it fun... she gets so many more weapons than Leon that I actually have to store some in the box for inventory space.
