Team Fortress 2 Screen Tearing

[AalexX136]

The issue was caused by turning on SLI.

turn on AA

[stefmor90]

@1CTXXTC lol idiot do some research, aa and screen tearing are not related, he needs some vsync

not like it matters since this isn't screen tearing

[1CTXXTC]

@stefmor90 Someones angry, OR THE WHOLE VIDEOS ANGRY. RAGEFEST1!

[rerundadog]

@1CTXXTC idiot. AA makes edges smoother. What makes you think that is going to fix screen tearing?

[ERTLPFM]

i think your graphics card is DYYYYYIIING!

[Warunho]

I don't understand the point of this video, are you asking us how to fix it or something?

[AalexX136]

@Warunho Used it to explain the problem in a steam forum post in search of help there.

[Nhordmyr]

@AalexX136 hope you fixed it yet. this is no screen-tearing. screen-tearing is when your fps are so high, that your monitors refresh-rate cant handle it anymore. the screen gets literally seperated into 3-4layers which "flicker" all differently. Not black.

[jaytee1792]

didnt rly see much of a difference just a lag? was that the point of this

[AalexX136]

@jaytee1792 Look at how the screen flashes at a ridiculous and annoying rate when I go to the death cam

[vjehshta]

@AalexX136 hey omg this is happening to me too this happened to me too!!

[magicaIpineapple]

@AalexX136

Thats not really that bad.

I mean, its annoying, but its something i can live with.

Unless you're a really bad player and get Deathcam all the time.

[fbxxxfb]

@AalexX136 lol its a deth cam not gamplay 

[AalexX136]

@fbxxxfb lol what? Of course its the death cam - thats where it flashes... take a look again

[fbxxxfb]

@AalexX136 yea its good it only on death cam so it does not affect gameplay

[AalexX136]

@fbxxxfb Still gets pretty annoying to have it flash every time I die... seizure inc

[djdj165]

what is vysnc?

[kesssen]

Fur shur...nvidia drivers :D

[musicman15234]

haha that's because you're running anything with the word dell in it. I like their laptops, but some of the components of their computers especially graphics wise is terrible for gaming!

[AalexX136]

I am not running a Dell. Read the info for the video. The computer was custom built by myself. The only thing that is Dell, is the 30 inch LCD monitor made by Dell, the Dell 3008WFP. Arguably, the best 30" LCD currently on the market.

i have the problem too, but i dont get the whole screen flickering, its horizontal lines. nvidia shitz hehe

[JimmiMcCarthy]

Horizontal lines is screen tearing v-sync should fix that. otherwise use a d3d overrider

[WatchingViking]

@JimmiMcCarthy LOL :-)

Its fixed now. It was an old Nvidia bug in their drivers....they fixed it.

Anyway I am using an ATI 5870 now so....works very well.

[JimmiMcCarthy]

heh i just got a 5850 (i know cheapo :P) i like ati alot more than nvidia now :D

[dirtbikeryzz]

Not really drivers fault, if your getting 100fps and your screen refresh rate is 60 your gonna get screen tear until you turn vsync on.

[AalexX136]

For me the problem was fixed when turning off SLI. Using nvidias profile for Team Fortress 2 I changed it to anything but SLI and the problem was solved. Luckily I have two 280s so I dont need both of them to run TF2 at maxxed settings on 2560x1600 resolution

[1337plo]

i have the EXACT same problem, i though my card was over heating... its beacuase of those new nvidia drivers

[BloodShed4REAL]

Actually it will also happen in DODS too

[12bitchmore]

update your drivers?
