Tearing while browsing and web videos

CraigRobbo · 2 May 2013 at 23:35

Hey guys.

I did a Google search on this with nothing really helping.

I'v just built a new system, installed all drivers (latest) installed all updates.

I am having a really odd issue when I am browsing of watching videos online there is some major tearing(similar to having V-sync switched off in games)

Now any full screen game plays perfectly without tearing so presumably its something to do with windows rendering?

I have tried changing to several different refresh rates with no joy and the screen I am using is my old one which had no issues previously.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What connection type are you using? DSub, DVI, HDMI?

DVI to HDMI - My config is that it goes DVI from graphics card -> Asus Xonar HDAV -> Amplifier/Receiver -> Projector.

However I don't think this is the issue, my connection/layout and all other hardware is exactly as it was prior to changing my Mobo,Graphics card & processor.

Again help is much appreciated

All same as before - Win 7 Firefox Browser.

Running an i7 3770k 3.5GHZ

Not short on power.

Did you wipe all the drivers before installing the new card?

Fresh install of windows, I'm on the latest version of driver, I have just now tried to install the Beta drivers see if it helps - But it doesn't

Do Non Flash Videos do the same?

first thing i would do is eliminate your (complicated) connection setup by testing straight from the GC to a monitor and see if it still happens.
If it does, we know thats not the problem and that its either a software issue or potentially even faulty hardware.
Have you tweaked anything software-wise or is everything completely stock. Also, have you tried other browsers and do they do the same thing?

Let us know....

Thanks again guys.

I did try a direct connection and still the same.

Upon further analysis I found that it was also doing it games too it just wasn't as noticeable. However this could be a coincidence that I don't have Vsync enabled.

EDIT: I didn't have Vsync enabled in game, after enabling tearing went away on the game so it appears the issue is isolated.

Watching Iron man on VLC does not show any tearing - Seems somewhat isolated to 2D non full screen
