Hey guys,

Yesterday i upgraded to windows 10. When playing Battlefield 1 or Playerunknown's Battlegrounds i have some extreme screen tearing, which didn't happen when i was using windows 7 with the exact same settings. The game tells me that i have a good ammount of FPS, but it looks like shit.

When i adjust the refresh rate in-game it seems to fix it, but when alt-tabbing it goes back to the tearing. I'm running both games on fullscreen and i'm using a 144Hz monitor. I also reinstalled my Graphics card driver which didn't solve the issue. When playing Overwatch(fullscreen) i do not experience screen tearing at all.

Have you already tried to FULLY uninstall your video card driver and install the latest available?

For fully uninstall I mean using DDU (display driver uninstaller) and then proceed with the clean install of the new ones.

Never used that utility before, anyway you say you experience that issue while playing BF only, right? Open the game, go to the graphic/video options (whatever is it) and look for an option called "vertycal sync" if available and mark it if you find, do the same with "triple buffer".

The thing is that Vsync causes a lot of imput lagg. And no i have the same issue with Battlegrounds.

Correct, but it's the one which solves the screen tearing, and considering you have a 144hz monitor I guess this is the main issue. Enable both V-Sync and Triple buffer and check if it happens again (also check on amd control panel if there's a vsync voice as well, in case try also to enable it while disabling it in-game)

A clean install may also fix the issue.

I disabled both already, and BF1 was installed after i updated to Windows 10. It didn't help.
