Why Screen Tearing in Witcher 3 Ultra Settings?

[cholt10]

Hello Community,

I can't figure out what to do to fix the screen tearing in Witcher 3! This is my build BTW:

Monitor:LG 29UM69G-B 29
GPU: Vega 64 Aircool
Mobo: Maximus Hero IX
CPU: i7 6700k
PSU: 850 W Gold
RAM: RipJaws 2x8 2400
SSD: WD 1TB

Did you enable free-sync?
Also you have to use a Displayport cable, not an HDMI cable.

 

[cholt10]

I have it enabled on the AMD settings and the monitor, yes.

Ohhh really? I am using HDMI...I don't understand the difference

This review is from: LG 29UM69G-B 29" FreeSync IPS WFHD Ultrawide Gaming Monitor, Dynamic Action Sync, 4 Screen Split, On-Screen Control, HDMI, USB-C, DisplayPort
Pros: Wide.

Cons: Only comes with hdmi cable. So that 75hz/freesync is useless until you get dp.
No tilt or swivel. It's just stationary.

Other Thoughts: I don't get why it doesn't come with a displayport cable.
The free game on their main site also takes at least 3 weeks to verify.

Make sure your Vega 64 drivers are up to date. They will be releasing a lot of updates in the near future.

Well, that probably explains it then lol.
Thanks guy, didn't realize I needed display port cable!

Hey, so I bought the display cord you listed the link to. However, my computer says "No Signal detected Enter power saving mode shortly"

Change the input. You also may have to unplug the power cable to the monitor.

 

[cholt10]

I changed the input and unplugged monitor and restarted computer. Still nothing

 

[James Mason]

did you change it to the displayport input on the monitor?
and is the HDMi unplugged from the GPU?

Are you sure the cable is in all the way? it has little teeth it uses to hold itself in.

 

[cholt10]

Yes, I changed the monitor input. And I did also have HDMI unplugged as well.

I'll have to check to make sure it's in all the way. They seemed to have slid in easily, so I'm assuming yes.

 

[James Mason]

You didn't like... buy the wrong cable, like a USB cable or something?
It should work, there shouldn't be anything you need to do.

 

[cholt10]

Yeah man, I bought the right one. I wonder if its a bad cable then? Do I have to do anything in the AMD settings?

 

[SgtScream]

You need to determine if the cable, port on the gpu or monitor is defective.
First step would be to:
1) Test the cable on another system if available.
2) Purchase a second display port cable to test on your existing rig.
Pick one of these steps that is more readily available to you and start there.

In Nvidia Control Panel, make sure Vertical Sync is set to "Use the 3D application setting" Also try Borderless window mode

 

[James Mason]

he an amd GPU though.

condolences

So, I'm not sure if there was a correct end to the cable that needed to go to the GPU and one to the monitor. Out of sheer randomness I decided to switch the monitor side to GPU side and vice versa. Anyways, that did the trick oddly enough. Thanks for the help though guys!
