Screen tearing introduced by 16/02/21 update

I just removed the screen tear by disabling G-Sync on my monitor and turning on V-Sync 60fps in the graphics options.

Unfortunately I don’t have G-sync on my monitor! Glad you’ve got yours sorted though. Cheers.

Users in another thread suggested setting the v-sync to “Fast” using the N-Vidia control panel.

This has solved the issue for me.

I’m still baffled as to how it came about in the first place.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

Same problem here when I first loaded the sim. But when I changed my monitor refresh rate to 144Hz (from 60), the tearing went away. I’d suggest checking your control panel and looking at the refresh rate.

Confirmed, setting it to Fast in Nvidia Control Panel worked for me too.
Note, you have to restart the sim to see the effect.

See this thread for an explanation: V1.13.16.0 - screen tearing not a bug but a design change - #2 by kaese5128

Worked for me too…once I restarted sim! Thanks for the info :+1:

nice, will try this later :slight_smile:

Anyone figure out a fix for those on AMD GPUs ?

My 60Hz screen is ok and also VR (which appears to have improved visuals, a noticeable tiny bit)

It worked for me. Thanks. :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve been reading a couple of threads about this new issue and 9 out of 10 posts are for nvidia. Clearly AMD 6800s are hard to find… So the workaround found for nvidia cannot be applied to AMD hence we need a different solution.

Voted.

Thanks for your help man. Just wanted to confirm before I try this, I have to set in-game V-sync option to off and set V-sync to “Fast” in Nvidia control panel right?

That’s what I did, and it worked fine for me, good luck.

Love your Beechcraft setup!

Unfortunately, this has not worked for me. When move left and right in the cockpit, lots of screen tearing and when panning down in bird’s eye view of the scenery, I also see a lot screen tearing and slow refresh rate. I have tested this in both windowed and full screen mode.

I have lost 5 FPS with this update. I was thinking that this time update was good but again…

I put vsync controlled by the application in nvcp and I activated vsync in the sim at 30 and the tearing disappeared
I’m in HDMI, I removed the Gsync

So after lots of trial and error, I may have fixed my screen tearing problem and hopefully works out for you as well so you can get back to your sweet setup. Unlike the usual setting recommendation for other users, I set my v-sync to 3d application controlled in Nvidia CP and in-game v-sync to ON, The in-game setting can be chosen to either 30 or 60, (for me the sweet spot being 60). Now there are no visible tearing when panning left to right in cockpit and scenery bird’s eye view.

The sim will have to restarted for the changes to take effect

Hopefully this may help others.

I change the in-game V-Sync settings to On with 30 FPS
Nearly no loss of FPS. Works fine
