What do you mean tearing while browsing?

Hi, I mean I have also some tearing when scrolling thru text while browsing on the internet, apart of the in-game tearing with P3D. After all things discussed before done and after updating to the latest nvidia drivers (382.05) I'm still having the tearing issues.

Do you means vertical (up/down) scrolling?

Well, yes, it's something like some blurring in some lines of text (like two or three lines of text that blurs or tears).

If there is no left/right displacement of characters and the text just appears blurry  and maybe changes colour a little then I've seen that on all the monitors I've owned. You just have to scroll fast enough to see it. That's not a v-sync issue.

Yes, your description matches pretty well what's happening here when I scroll fast enough, as you said. What I don't really remember is having the same issue with my previous monitor, that's why this is confusing to me.

Good to know you think that's nothing to do with VSync.

Thanks, Ed

Ed,

I had this on my new ASUS HD monitor and it was because I had a dvi-d to hdmi cable running from the graphics card to the monitor.

A shake of the monitors box still in the cupboard underneath the stairs had a hdmi to hdmi cable fall out, still in its plastic wrapper and boom, problem gone.

If this is already your set up, I'm out!

Regards,

Mark

Thanks to those fellow members who helped me in finding the solution to this tearing problems. After several attempts:

1. VSync ON both in-sim and in NVCP with Triple Buffering ON in both too,

2. Changed HDMI cable. Changed also connection from HDMI1 to HDMI2 port behind my new monitor,

3. Verified that VSync was working well inside the sim (limiting FPS to 60) with very low settings and VSync OFF and ON,

4. Uninstalled latest driver 382.05 completely in safe mode using DDU. Reinstalled same driver 382.05.

Seems to me that the key action here was the uninstalling and reinstalling of the video driver using DDU. In total, I did this three times and after the last clean install everything is working well with no tearing!. Using the latest 382.05, so far so good!.

Thanks, Ed
