haven't used AC in a while and I'm getting terrible screen tearing. Any ideas what I can do? it is right across the monitor and directly on the line I want to look at ahead.

@RasmusP Is our guru for video problems. He's very helpful.

Sounds like you disabled vsync and have a fps limiter at 60 fps on at the same time?

sounds about right,

sounds about right, but it was like that before I disabled vsync. somehow there is a limiter on FPS which I've never had before, as I used to see very high frame rates for my system but now it only shows 60FPS. any idea on how or where I can remove that?

CM has a FPS Limiter on the Video Page, your GPU has a setting for that too.

just about to try but I think that was it, the GPU setting for FR. the one in CM was not active. fingers crossed.
yep that was it. thank you so much and @RasmusP too, that was horribly vomit inducing. now I'm seeing 252FPS.

stigs2cousin · Sep 19, 2022

Glad it worked out

I'm seeing 252FPS.

That depends on your monitor refresh rate

Hehe yeah limiting the FPS to your Hz WITHOUT vsync is absolutely awful since you're not only getting tearing, but the tearing border barely move and just slowly crawl up/down depending on the very tiny fluctuations of the limiter and the exact Hz.

Now at 250 FPS, you still have the tearing borders, but they are way smaller and the difference between the multiple frames that are getting displayed at the same time is way smaller, which makes the tearing borders even less noticeable.

Well, he SEES 252 FPS, but with tearing borders and at 60 Hz, he's mostly getting 4 frames displayed at the same time and the tearing borders move down in 1/6th frame-height steps every frame

When playing a bit of Counter-Strike as a teenager with a 60 Hz monitor, 200+ FPS looked perfect. Drops below that lead to ugly tearing borders though...
v-sync or limiting fps (even with the 59.97 fps trick from RTSS) made the mouse a lot less snappy.
Definitely not important with wheel & pedals though

yes, sloppy language from me, I meant what CM was showing the rate to be.

I only mentioned it in case you were chasing high fps with a monitor that can't keep up. I only have 60Hz monitors and it looks smooth enough to me at 60fps. My low fps means I can switch all detail to max and use SOL and make AC look it's best.

Got some more practice and found a couple of tenths then got progressively worse the more I pushed.

Going to be a race of survival with so many places waiting to bite you!

I have to work tomorrow, have fun lads

Would like to see it if anyone can put the replay up

GOOD NEWS!! @Fat-Alfie 's masterpiece Battenbergring is now available on S.GP! This week I will publish the championships on S.GP. The start will be two weeks later to have enough time for everyone to sign up. More information here: https://www.racedepartment.com/thre...championship-including-battenbergring.239272/

As a warmup I'm organizing next Tuesday a race with the chosen cars on Sebring. Look here: https://www.racedepartment.com/thre...h-200-sebring-tue-27th-september-2022.249464/

It's a great opportunity to get to know the cars and have some learnings for the championship.
