Game "Screen Tearing" Without V-Sync

4.5

The image looks like it's being "cut" in half horizontally during fast movement.

Symptoms
  • Horizontal lines
  • Split image
  • Visual glitches
Possible Causes
  • FPS not matching monitor refresh rate

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Enable V-Sync

Matches game FPS to your monitor's refresh rate (e.g., 60Hz).

2

Use G-Sync or FreeSync

If your monitor supports it, this is the best way to fix tearing without lag.

3

Cap FPS

Set a frame rate limit slightly below your refresh rate (e.g., 59 FPS for 60Hz).

When to See a Technician

Screen tearing happens when the GPU sends a new frame while the monitor is still drawing the old one.
