Hey all,
Im pretty sure my graphics card is knackered, but i thought id ask here just incase there is somthing i may have missed.
As the title says, im getting some pretty savage screen tearing, on the desktop, watching video, and even playing games. I use a dual monitor setup, one running off DVI the other HDMI.
I completely uninstalled the graphics drivers using a cleaning utility. downloaded the drivers direct from nvidia (im using a gtx 980), and did a complete fresh install. Sadly no luck.
The wierd thing is, its happening on both monitors. I have re-installed windows from scratch, replaced the cables and even tried a 3rd monitor, no luck![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
As a simple test, i deliberatly lowered the graphics card output to 30hz and still get screen tearing.
Like i said im pretty sure its the graphics card itself, but wanted to ask if there is anything else i can try before shelling out £400 for anew graphics card![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
