vertical tearing

[mitchafi]

Can someone describe it to me. I'm having this annoying problem whenever I play 3D games where the screen seems to be unstable. There aren't any artifacts, but the screen acts weird when turning left or right. I can't explain it. So can anyone accurately describe vertical tearing so I can try to determine if that is the problem i'm experiencing? Thanks

The vertical lines, for example, walls and edges of buildings in a 3D game become unlined temporarily. VSYNC fixes this, but it does impact performance. How much I'm not sure. If it's really bothering you then cut that on and it should do it! Just from what you described that sounds like what you're experiencing.

Go to Advanced Display Poperties. Then the "3d" tab. Check the "use custom settings" and click on the "Custom" box. Move the "Wait for Vertical Sync" slider to the right. All should be good from now on.
