[SOLVED] Screen tearing and 60hz

[Nivz0r]

Hello,
I have a problem with screen tearing.
I've connected my PC to my Samsung 7400UE 55" 4k.
While watching movies or YT Videos I have 1 screen tear in the middle of the screen.
How can I fix this?
Pc specs:
I7 9700k
Gigabyte z390 gaming X
Gigabyte 2060SUPER

And also this TV is 200hz but in my PC it shows 60hz. Connected through HDMI.
Is it the maximum ?

Have you tried enabling Vsync in NvidiaCP?

200Hz is done internally of the television to improve motion, it isn't raw input.

I tried it in games it didn't seem to help.
How to enable it through control panel?

It's under manage 3D settings once you open Nvidia Control Panel by right clicking mouse anywhere on desktop. If you don't have NvidiaCP installed, head to Microsoft store, it's free and is how it's installed now. Used to be included with driver.

Thank you so much I've been suffering from the screen tearing for too long.
It is now fixed!

And what about the 60hz? Is that the max I can get out of this TV?
I saw videos of people with Samsung 📺 running 120hz.

You're welcome.

Some TVs can, depending on the model. If TV was able to set higher than 60, your PC wouldn't be trolling you. It'll be available if it could.

 

[Nivz0r]

Alright then, thanks!

Does anyone know if it's worth buying a DP to HDMI cable?
Is there any difference between what I use now?
HDMI to HDMI.

Sorry, but a bit off topic, but since an HDMI to DisplayPort cable was mentioned and you offered a response, I thought I'd ask this:

I have a laptop with an HDMI out and I believe a GTX1060 or 1070 GPU (I check that).
Based on the research that I've done, the GTX 10 series CAN use Freesync but only via DisplayPort.

Does an HDMI to DisplayPort cable count as "using DisplayPort" when trying to use Freesync compatibility?

 

[boju]

Hdmi will eventually support variable sync for Nvidia cards in versions 2.1+ at some stage. As of now, it's only Amd cards via current Hdmi versions. Nvidia does require Displayport for Gsync and Freesync. An adapter, Hdmi to DP won't work.

USBc to DP cable is your best if your laptop has this port and it can pass video via USBc's Displayport alt mode. Specifications should mention it if possible.

Alternatively, run Vsync but cap your fps 1 or 2 below refresh rate to help eliminate input lag. I've done it before and it worked for me.
