Screen tearing even while using Integrated Graphics on Helios 300

William_G

I have been experience VERY annoying screen tearing, and i've tried new drivers, v-sync, adaptive sync, integrated graphics and everything else anyone has told me, yet there is still extremely annoying screen tearing. Can anyone help?

V-sync caps your framerate to 60 per second(the same as screen's refresh rate 60Hz). You won't experience tearing only when the framerate is the same as the refresh rate - 60Hz. Adaptive V-sync is the same as V-sync, but it disables V-sync when the framerate is lower than 60, to reduce sluttering(not tearing). V-sync eliminates tearing only when the fps matches the refresh rate, if the fps goes lower than the refresh rate, you will experience tearing. Some games are really bad at managing stable fps, so in this case it is better to disable v-sync and run it at unlocked fps.
