deep wren
wispy owl
#

Where

deep wren
#

Tearing is going to be natural if games cannot request vsync

wispy owl
#

I dont normally use vsync

#

this just started happening

deep wren
# wispy owl

Open this image. It's supposed to be application controlled under "Vertical Sync"

wispy owl
#

Thats never on tho, it doesnt work either

#

ive tried everything

deep wren
#

I can also see that you changed multiple global settings.

Did you follow a guide, changed these settings, and didn't realise that it's considered changed?

wispy owl
#

turned that on, fast, even adaptive, and even fortnite (the only that works), but causes delay.

wispy owl
deep wren
#

I would strongly suggest starting over with a known good state. DDU, reinstall drivers, restart the PC and then WITHOUT OPENING THE NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL OR THE NVIDIA APP, open Fortnite.

#

Then show Fortnite's own settings.

wispy owl
#

I reset my whole pc

#

wdym good state

deep wren
wispy owl
#

like now?

wispy owl
deep wren
#

My god.

wispy owl

If you have any issues with your graphics card after updating the Nvidia drivers, please perform the following:

  • Remove the existing Nvidia driver by running Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) here: (AutoDDU can be told to use a custom driver link, or you can use the manual version located here.). For a utility to automate DDU as much as possible follow this guide.
  • You can download drivers from the official site below. (You will need to specify your GPU and operating system.) On a laptop, both iGPU and dGPU drivers should be installed for full functionality and performance.

NVIDIA
AMD
Intel

  • Ensure that your WiFi/Ethernet/Internet is turned off or disconnected before installation of the driver (Running the .exe file) to prevent Windows Update from overriding the driver installation.
  • Disconnect all other monitors (except one main monitor) and all unnecessary USB devices before driver installation to prevent device conflicts or black screens.
  • During driver installation, please select the Custom option when prompted and ensure that Peform a clean installation is checked/ticked before proceeding with the installation.
  • Please restart your computer after the driver installation is completed.

and i copied them due to them being good for my pc

deep wren
wispy owl
#

not really it helped, im a comeptive player, they helped a ton

deep wren
#

These issues cannot be properly troubleshooted as long as you keep trying to start with the broken base

deep wren
wispy owl
#

So what next?

deep wren
wispy owl
#

and how do i do that?

deep wren
#

Right now it's really obvious you changed settings you don't know you changed

deep wren
wispy owl
#

Nvida Control?

deep wren
#

In Manage 3D Settings, click Restore Defaults at the top right

wispy owl
#

Nvidia*

deep wren
#

Yes

wispy owl
#

Done

deep wren
#

Once done, DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING, just apply and exit

wispy owl
#

Done

deep wren
#

Then open Fortnite the game itself, and check the game settings there. Screenshot it and place it here.

wispy owl
#

Alright

#

What do you need to se

#

see

deep wren
# wispy owl

Turn on Vsync here, and frame rate limit to unlimited, and NVIDIA Reflex to normal On

#

Afterwards, go ahead and retest your game to see if it tears or lags

wispy owl
#

Low FPS 160 ish

#

Restarting

#

I mean its not as bad as much horrible delay, noticed not as bad, even with VSYNC off

noble ether

  1. The first monitor does not support Freesync Premium, so G-Sync WILL NOT work properly and you may also see ghosting issues since it's a VA panel
#
  1. The 2nd monitor had no mention of G-Sync/Freesync so expect screen tearing regardless

Please ensure that:

  • your monitor has been certified as G-Sync Ultimate/G-Sync/G-Sync Compatible/FreeSync Premium Pro/FreeSync Premium
  • you are running at least a 10-Series (GTX 1000) Nvidia GPU if you intend to enable G-Sync/VRR.

Please note that G-Sync/VRR can only be enabled via DisplayPort only with the exception of the 30-Series (RTX 3000) and above (G-Sync/VRR is enabled via HDMI 2.1).

For older GPUs from the GTX 600 to 900 series, G-Sync/VRR is only enabled for G-Sync monitors only (Monitors with a G-Sync Module) and not compatible with other monitors (Including G-Sync Compatible/FreeSync Premium Pro/FreeSync Premium)

For displays with the word FreeSync only, VRR is only compatible on AMD Radeon GPUs via HDMI or DisplayPort as FreeSync is AMD's proprietary implementation of the Adaptive Sync standard and not compatible with Nvidia GPUs. For displays without any certification, VRR/G-Sync is not supported in any kind.

A monitor with any G-Sync certification should have G-Sync automatically enabled on connection. If this is not the case, or if the monitor does not have a G-Sync certification, but does have a FreeSync Premium or above certification, please follow the instructions below to enable G-Sync/VRR:

Check your monitor’s native menu system to see if FreeSync has been automatically enabled. This may be labeled in different ways, but could fall under game-related settings.

If FreeSync hasn’t been enabled, you may be able to force the feature. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel app, click on Manage 3D settings, then click the Monitor Technology drop-down and choose G-SYNC Compatible.

While in the NVIDIA Control Panel, check that Preferred fresh rate is toggled to Highest available, and/or that Vertical sync is set to On. Click Apply to make settings take effect. Note that if you turn on vertical sync (V-sync) this way, you should disable in-game V-sync settings.

In the Control Panel’s sidebar, click on Set up G-SYNC (under Display). For your FreeSync monitor, tick the Enable G-SYNC, G-SYNC Compatible and Enable settings for the selected display model checkboxes. When you’re done, click Apply.

Alternatively, open the Nvidia app, click on System, under Display Properties make sure the G-SYNC is turned on (green button), and the resolution and refresh rate is set to the highest. The Nvidia G-Sync logo should appear on your display icon if it’s working & compatible with your monitor.

Note that the "fullscreen" option also covers most borderless games. The "windowed" option is not necessarily if your game functions correctly with the former option.

Both of your monitors DO NOT meet Nvidia's requirements for VRR/G-Sync

deep wren
#

Also, are you no longer tearing at least?

wispy owl
deep wren
wispy owl
#

barley little tears

#

but still notice a bit when moving mouse fast

#

which i do

#

thats why im saying

noble ether
#

Your monitors suck (No offense)

wispy owl
#

No offense taken

#

just never had issues with it

#

it was just kind of scary thing yk?

noble ether
#

With a VA panel, you will see ghosting as well

wispy owl
#

Okay

noble ether
#

it's the nature of the panel in general

wispy owl
#

So what monitors can i buy to stop completely

noble ether
#

A monitor that is from a known brand like Samsung or LG and has G-Sync certification

wispy owl
#

mm ok

noble ether
#

Keep in mind "AMD Freesync" is not enough to run G-Sync as it runs on AMD proprietary API

#

you need to find "AMD Freesync Premium" or "Premium Pro"

#

or alternately find a G-Sync Compatible monitor

deep wren
#

g-sync compatible cert is probably the best that won't cost too much extra as they're actually tested, but be careful:

some retailers will slap "g-sync compatible" even if the monitor is uncertified by NVIDIA, by assuming that a freesync display can work anyway

#

if the monitor doesn't exist here, assume no. the model name must exactly match. any extra, missing, or changed letters = different model = cert doesn't apply if it doesn't exist

wispy owl
#

So whats wrong with my monitors? why did the issue occur only niw

wispy owl
#

mayb a dumb question

#

is this good
