Screen Tearing and Input lag

Dave2527 · Jul 20, 2013

I am new to PC gaming, i have a 60Hz monitor, and i get ridiculous screen tearing so i switch V-sync on but the negative aspect is input lag. Is there a way to reduce input lag while negating screen tearing, I have been reading some other threads and people are suggesting triple buffering if my graphic card is capable.

Any suggestions besides getting a 120Hz monitor, I also tried capping my framerate to 59 fps, but it also didnt help that much with the screen tearing, any help would be appreciated.

I use radeon HD 7950.

Sounds like you already have the answer. I think you need something called D3D Overrider then enable triple buffering.

but does it reduce input lag??

Honestly I don't know. People say it does, but I've also heard it increases lag. Personally I just use adaptive v-sync to limit framerates to 60fps, and then tolerate the bit of tearing that remains. For a Radeon, you can use RadeonPro to do the same, though it sounds like you tried that already and weren't happy with the results. True v-sync has such a massive impact on framerates (dropping below 60fps means you're set at 30fps) that I prefer to just tolerate a little bit of tearing.

I can tolerate a bit of tearing, can you give me a guide on how to use the adptive v-sync, sounds better than having input lag.

Well it's an nVIDIA feature. But if you download and install RadeonPro, use it to limit framerates to 60. That should hopefully give similar results.
