screen tearing

[richgill74]

i currently have the hanns.g 28" monitor and i seem to get a lot of tearing, notice it more on WoW than BF3 my current build is

asus sabertooth p67
intel i5 2500k
8 gb g.skill sniper 1600mhz
60 gb ssd
gigabyte gtx 560ti

i will be getting a second gpu very soon, but i am wondering if its just my monitor not up to the job anymore, been looking into the asus ve278q led lcd monitor, any advice/comments welcome.

You can either enable vsync, or try using a combo of vsync and frame rate limiter in latest msi afterburner - there is a thread on this in the gpu section.

I am currently using the combo and works a treat.

Of course screen tearing is monitor related its down to refresh rate and fps! Just get a 120hz monitor and u wont see any screen tearing ever again!
