Hi all,
I recently helped a friend get into PC gaming on a budget, and as a result he has a cheaper 'gaming' monitor which although has 1ms response time, only is 60hz with no freesync / gsync.
I've always had high refresh rate monitors / G-sync and so have never had problems with tearing in the past.
The first game we tried was Doom, and with a constant 100+fps the tearing was horrible. With V-sync on the input lag was also horrible.
Perhaps I've been spoilt in the past with high refresh rate monitors and G-Sync etc, but I don't ever recall seeing frame tearing as bad as we experienced on doom with his setup.
Is this game particularly bad for tearing, or is there anything I can do to mitigate either the tearing with v-sync off, or the input lag with v-sync on?
One last query is does having borderless windowed mode / fullscreen have any bearing on tearing?
Thanks for your advice in advance,
Pes x
