Screen Tearing with my new setup

[DrHerbst]

Specs at First :

PSU: 600 Watt be quiet! Straight Power 10 CM Modular 80+ Gold
CPU: Intel Core i7 7700K 4x 4.20GHz So.1151 WOF
GPU: 8GB Asus GeForce GTX 1080 Strix Advanced Aktiv PCIe 3.0 x16 1xDVI / 2xDisplayPort / 2xHDMI 2.0 (Retail)
Tower cooler: Noctua NH-U9S Tower Kühler
Ram: 16GB (2x 8192MB) G.Skill RipJaws V schwarz DDR4-3200 DIMM CL16-18-18-38 Dual Kit
Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming K4 Intel Z270 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR ATX Retail
Monitor: samsung s23C550 ( i have tried to plug in my 4k tv and screen tearing as well)

I got that problem also with my older pc sometimes, i realy don't know the reason for it. It's just realy annoying, would buy a 144 hz monitor or g sync monitor help?, (if so any recommendations? )

First are you plugged into the GPU or the MB?

Gpu ofc

Screen tearing will always happen unless some sort of sync is turned on. Adaptive V-sync will take care of it all the way down to 30hz I believe, and up to the monitor's refresh. If you want more frames than that, it will tear. If you produce less frames, it will tear.

If you turn straight V-Sync on then you will need to be able to maintain 60FPS at all times to avoid tearing.

A G-sync monitor would help if you can't maintain the frame rate. It would get rid of the possibility of tearing, though it does drop down to adaptive v-sync at a certain point if I recall.

What Eximo said. Either turn on Vsync and increase latency, or get a gsync monitor. Screen tearing sucks man, if you game a lot, a good gsync monitor is completely worth it.

It works great if you don't want to spend a lot of time tweaking the settings. I just like to install a game, set it to ultra, and leave G-sync turned on. At the moment that means 60+ FPS in all available titles, and most of the games I play at 144Hz. Only a very few have I bothered to tweak to reach 144hz. (Which if you do, then V-sync is all you need, same effect)

But every game has its dips, when something explodes or whatnot, and with G-sync there is no tearing.

What I want Nvidia to fix next is the performance in game menus. I often see a lot of flickering because the GPU decides it can run at 5000 FPS and does it. (Basically because the game is neither full screen or windowed)

 

[Eximo]

Oh, and G-sync modules supposedly do remove most of the latency penalties since they control the entire pipeline. When the PG279Q came out I believe it beat all the competition on input lag and latency. I imagine that is still true as well. I haven't seen any new revisions of the module only larger/slower monitors.

Though there is that 144Hz 4K monitor from ASUS, not sure that has gotten in the hands of any reviewers yet.

Will defenetly try some things out, thanks
