[SOLVED] Trying to play Blair Witch on Steam

[GLE365]

And it works, but it's not exactly pretty. I was basically handed a HP Z400 workstation a couple of weeks ago and added:

A X5687 Xeon processor
12 GB ram
A GTX 1060 3GB GPU

I have verified with Core Temp that things are running within normal operating temps....

I just kind of threw this together for my son but thought I would give it a 15 hour test run first. Right away I figured out I can't run at high settings and highest resolution. Things were hitching and studdering. I backed it off to medium settings at the next lowest resolution and that is playable at 60 fps but it looks like the screen is 'tearing' in the middle as I scroll side to side. I've never had this happen before and maybe I'm not even describing the issue correctly, but would this be a result of hardware that isn't strong enough? Thanks in advance!

What monitor are you using and what type of connection? Did you try turning on vsync?

Sorry, that probably would be helpful.. On a old 2010 50 inch Panasonic Plasma. HDMI connection. I'll have to look into vsync and how to turn it on..

That display probably has a very slow refresh rate, that is why. Try it with a regular monitor, hopefully not a super old one.
