- If you see a shift or a break in these vertical black and white stripes that forms a horizontal line across the screen, that means you have screen tearing. The visual artifact that looks like the edges of the stripes fail to line up occurs when a video or a 3d game is not in sync with the display's refresh rate.

If you are not sure whether you have screen tearing or not check out my video with an example:
ua-cam.com/video/rg_0D96ZGSY/v-deo.html
I have Screen Tearing just in the HDMI ports of the my TV, because, the tearing, just appear in my TV when I duplicate my PC Screen on my TV, more not in my PC monitor and neither the UA-cam app of the TV. My conclussion is that the HDMI's ports of the TV is broken or in bad state, can be other thing? Need help please, thanks to much.
if you are using windows 7 , just change your theme to aero themes it will resolve the issue , my mind was blown when i found out how easy is the solution
I will test this tomorrw 😊
imagine if someone made another video like this but just put a screen tearing effect on it, so evil😈
You gave me an idea
what?? i thought it was?!? so my monitor is crap??
@@Eray2007 no it most likely your settings in windows or whatever your on, but it could also be your monitor
Yea
@@FortniteBestArses that u never did
Me with my phone: Interesting
Lmfao same
I bought a fresh and good monitor but still my phone's screen is better with no stuttering or waving at all
Mine is so good
@@Alerdo its due to the size of the display man
I use a Phone too lol and no tearing, the phone costs 30$
very useful for debugging, thank you very much! "Force full composite pipeline" fixed it for me (in nvidia-settings under linux)
Welcome! Thank you for the positive feedback! I'm glad that the video helped.
Force Full Composite Pipeline is bad for gamers of games competitive.
@@kevinyoliveira68 why?
@@kartoffelbaer1 Input lag...
Yup, definitely worked for me.
Sometimes it is only happening in a few apps. If that is the case, check if the app has hardware acceleration. Turn it on first, and if that does not solve the issue then open your graphics card control panel and turn on v-sync.
That happened to me recently. I had turned off hardware acceleration for chrome and then youtube videos would tear. I spent a week messing with my Nvidia setting trying to find the issue but then I remembered the hardware acceleration.
This is very helpfull thanks
Turning hardware acceleration on in Brave did the trick. Thank you & the creator of the video. For me the tearing would appear after setting the video speed to 2x
for me it happened a few days after buying a 4070 and enabling hardware acceleration for frame generation, it was fine for the first week but today i sit down and my videos are tearing like crazy, was able to fix it by enabling adaptive sync for chrome in nvidia control panel specifically, not sure what other apps might be messed up but ill cross that bridge when i get there lol, kind of annoying but at least i dont have to enable and disable acceleration every single time i wanna use frame generation in a game
thanks man
mine only tears in full screen
I have the same problem. U know how to fix?
Same
Disable hadware acceleration in your browser settings
@@aces84mm24 Can confirm it worked for me
@@aces84mm24 Now I have screen tearing in fullscreen _and_ default view :D
Fixed my screen tearing by looking at the GPU. I had one of the brackets that held it in place installed a tiny bit wrong and there was a screw that was pulling an entire RX 570 8 gig nitro out of the PCIE socket slightly. I am both appalled and amazed by the craftsmanship on this case, I truly am. That bracket is so poorly designed that it's incredible, but also fuck that screw is a CHAMP to pull a GPU that's fairly heavy out enough to see artifacts and screen tearing.
Nice video, after trying what was mentioned and it not working, I checked enable Hardware Acceleration in Firefox and Chrome Settings and that seems to have fixed it.
Thank you soo much, that helped a lot. I tired up trying thousands of ways to fix this, updated drivers 3 times. Thank you soo much.
Oh interesting after disabeling hardware acceleration the screen tearing wasn't constantly on the same spot for the whole video but instead changed position but this time with multiple times/seconds when there wasn't any tearing at all, wich made it at least somewhat more bearable... did still not fix the problem completely but I guess I can live with that more easily xD
BROOOO i spent 3 days figuring what the fuck happening and i just realized i did turn off hardware acceleration on my firefox and forgot to turn it on and im panicking hahahah u save my life man.
you are a god send thank you, i was losing my mind
I have used this video as a sanity check for screen tearing while configuring a newly installed machine many times now, thank you.
Weirdly enough, since you explained it so well. I just went to my Intel control panel (through the Display section) and swapped my Scaling from "Maintain Display Scaling" to "Maintain Aspect Ratio" and it worked ! No more screen tearing whithout Vsync :D.
hey can you teach me how to fix screen tearing in intel? Thanks
Thank you!!! This worked perfectly on my crappy vga monitors!
well, that's dumb. Intel get ur shi together
I'm not having Screen Tearing, but everything is shaking, this happens a lot in videos and movies, especially when the image goes horizontally. I've searched in several places and haven't seen a question or even an answer.
U found answers yet
I feel like Im having the same issue, where Im getting a wobbling or vibration on the edges of the bars. Noticed it a few days ago in a game I'm playing and its irritating me to no end. Can't seem to find any suggestions online and no settings in AMD are seeming to have any impact
me: clicks video

LOL
Gwtting real old dude. Ur sad
@@chriss881000 I haven't seen anyone do the same joke, and I made this joke before the video blew up. So your comments made no sense.

I watched this video more than 100 times actually 😂😂😂
Oh wow! I hope it helped.
yes your videos helped me a lot, especially this video because when testing new Linux distro, I also need to check for screen tearing too, and this video is the best I found, I even bookmarked your video for quick access 😂
Thank you Neon and keep up the great work!

@@WheatThinner what a weirdo
@@NeonCipher Yes it did, convinced me to go back to windows. How the fuck is this still a problem in the year 2021
I literally got hypnotised trying to watch this
it feels like my monitor is trying REALLY hard to not let the bars tear
For the linux AMDGPU users out there, Run
xrandr -q
to get the name of your video output (something like HDMI-A-0 or eDP), then run
xrandr --output eDP --set TearFree on
replacing eDP with the name of your output
Indeed, sort of odd that the default "auto" doesn't seem to be any good
AFAIK you have to do that every time you reboot (or put it in xorg.conf). I don't even have an xorg.conf so I just put that line in the list of startup apps.
After a few years of seeing screen tearing I just realized that's all I had to do to fix it. *flips table* lol.
Thank you for the test! Really helped me.
You're welcome! I appreciate the feedback.
plot twist, he put a screen tearing effect on it
Olla dude! Much thanks, In my case on debian 10, the issue was a non int refresh rate. This helped me troubleshoot it though! Appreciate what you're doing, linux and open source needs more folks like you!
It only happens to me in the top of my screen on fullscreen. But I feel like my frame rate has dropped recently in games. I experience some stutter or even light freezes (3 sec) in games which I could run with low settings but no frame problems. Any suggestions? I'll try some standard stuff myself. Thank you, great video.
Im very very late, but go to Device Manager, display adapters, select your GPU (if more than 2, select the one broadcasting to the screen) and Update Driver. "Browse my computer for drivers" and click "Let me pick from a [...]" and select an adapter that is not Microsoft Basic Adapter or smth like that. Usually your GPU name. Select it and click "Next".
What all of this does is that it puts the drivers on the GPU that will work perfectly with the gpu on your pc so that your existing drivers wont force the older gpu to work with diff drivers.

GUYS THE BEST WAY TO FIX SCREEN TEARING IS TO TURN ON USE HARDWARE ACCELERATION IN CHROME SETTINGS , BELIVE ME TURN IT ON U WILL HAVE 0 SCREEN TEARING AFTER THAT JUST TEST IT AND U WILL SEE
Very useful! Thank you.
Welcome! I'm glad that the video helped.
What did you do?
Simple and fast , Thanks !!!
Welcome! Thank you for the positive feedback!
my pc when watching this: ok i would not show this screen tearing
my pc when playing games: *intense screen tearing
you mean stuttering
FYI, if you are on chrome or another browser, make sure hardware acceleration is on. This can eliminate false tearing from your browser.
He should have had that in the video so people wouldn't freak out for no reason lol
This fixed the problem, thank you
thank you
THIS WORKED!!
thanks, i had it off to stream on discord, lets see if it works now
for those who have problems on firefox on linux mint i suggest to go in about:config and set to true "layers.acceleration.force-enabled"
Thanks for the tip!
if you're using linux right now trying to troubleshoot this: NVIDIA X Server Settings > X Server Display Configuration > force composition pipeline.
be sure you have the correct display selected
I fixed my tearing screen by disabling option named "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" its an option on Windows 10.( Display settings-graphic settings-Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling set it on OFF. That worked for me, good luck!
wow..... i searched EVERYWHEREEEEEEEEEE for days for an answer and this one was the one to fix it.... thank you!!
You're a lifesaver, worked for me as well in Windows 11.
thank you so much! i was going insane seeing it constantly and couldnt handle it anymore i did some research and your video popped up! i noticed it withing 5 seconds of the video and then restarted my PC and it seems for be fine now! Thanks alot!
what if the bars look like they are vibrating? is that just an optical illusion?
Thanks! Used it three times and for me too [Linux NVIDIA] "Force full composition pipeline" did the job.
Changed settings for driver and still have screen tearing? This may help...right click your main desktop and select display settings > advanced display > "choose refresh rate". Your monitor may be set to 60Hz by default. Set it to 120Hz or higher, and you'll notice a difference in the smoothness of your mouse cursor.
If you are on linux and use a window manager such as dwm, xmonad, qtile, etc and you only have screen tearing on the window manager and not in your DE that comes with your distro, this command can fix screen tearing.
You will need a package called "compton" and when you start up compton you will want the flags "--vsync opengl-swc --backend glx".
I use xmonad so in my config I start up compton on start and add the flags in the command. If you don't have compton auto starting on boot you can launch compton with the flags with this command:
"compton --vsync opengl-swc --backend glx"
Thank you for the tip!
thank You. tested my computer with linux for tearing, then fixed it...
this work for me for all except for google chrome (lubuntu 18.04):
1. run xrandr from terminal, see output and look for connected display (mine is HDMI-A-0, put this in file below...)
2. create file "TearFree.desktop" (without quotas ) in /home//.config/autostart (if autostart folder not exist, create it, replace with your login name). In file TearFree.desktop write (then save, double click or reboot) :
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=xrandr TearFree on
Exec=sh -c "xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --set TearFree on"
Terminal=false
Type=Application
NoDisplay=true
StartupNotify=false
Please note that his fix works with Pop!_OS 20.04! I never comment on UA-cam videos, but this is an absolute boon to those of us running Linux with team red! Edit: Whoops, meant to comment on the instruction video.
Thank you for the positive feedback! I'm glad that the video helped.
Thanks for this video! I bought this laptop since the other one I owned had unfixable screen tearing. As someone who suffers from OCD I get constand intrusive thoughts about "What if you actually have screen tearing on this laptop too and don't notice it" So I've probably seen this video and the example one more than 200 times :')
I have probably looked at certain parts of my screen 100s of times, it eats me up.
if you dont feel bothered u shouldnot worry about it
In many cases it works if you look for this line in the picom configuration:
# glx-no-rebind-pixmap = false
Delete the '#' character and change 'false' to 'true'.
Then the line will look like this in the code:
glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true
This will also remove the screen tearing.
This method solved this problem for me.
here restarting my display manager in my linux machine, so useful! thanks so much
I have tearing when the video is at normal speed, but not in 2x ...
No wonder you see tearing(I see it as well), the video has only 30 frames so it can't run smoothly at 60 fps screen.
@@xibeon Ohw OK
@@xibeon of curse it can. each frame is simply rendered twice. You should *never*, under no circumstances get tearing. If you do your settings are bad/faulty.
@@opfipip3711 how can I fix my settings?
@@xibeon No idea what you'd do under Windows. (I haven't used it for a loong time)
Under Linux you either should enable v-sync in you compositor, or if you use none enable Full Composition Pipeline (NVIDIAs driver) or enable TearFree (all open source drivers).
IMPORTANT REMINDER HERE
Try to watch this video on another browser, I use chrome and its tearing on chrome but not firefox!!
It took me ages
Remember to like in case someone are as dumb as me!
dude thank you so much you saved me a lot of time
Bro muchas gracias, crei que algo andaba mal con mi monitor
Thanks! The before/after is amazing
very nice test and i fixed my screen tearing also very nice explaination in the video well done!
Welcome! Thank you for the positive feedback! I'm glad that the video helped.
Hey thanks, this was really REALLY helpful in me testing my Linux hybrid graphics configs
For me, screen tearing happens only when I either increase or lover volume, as well as if I skip ahead or go back
same
So, i did a bit of research and i still have no clue wtf is going on in my case... instead of that tearing i have something more like shaking of those black bars but it's so big that it's very, VERY unpleasant :/ so i really would like if someone know the sloution to this :/
Hi! Shaking is normal in this video, it's not a bug. I mentioned it in this example:
ua-cam.com/video/rg_0D96ZGSY/v-deo.html
Are the lines moving perfectly smooth for everyone else ? Or kinda " bouncy " ?
for me they are a bit bouncy :)
@@leatherinfluence.official ty man , hit the point where idk if my monitor or my eyes are bad lol
I don't see the horizontal tearing mentioned, but the edges of the black bars are blurry/shifty as the move left and right. Is that normal?
Yeah, could be a simple visual thing
Very helpful, thank you. Useful for verifying screen tearing, then verifying I fixed it. I'm running ubuntu, with a radeon graphics card, so I found my solution by searching for "ubuntu radeon vsync".
Welcome! Thank you for the positive feedback! I'm glad that the video helped.
If you are an Intel graphics card or nvidia graphics card user (usually on Linux, cos X Server is not good for moderns machines) and having problems with tearing then go to searchbar look for about:config , hit ok, and look for layers.acceleration.force-enabled and set true. =) Even with my 20-intel.conf file with the Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false", i'm not experiencing the problem. That's good!
Worked just fine with RX 580 and Ubuntu 20.04 focal fossa (Dev build). Thank you!
Welcome! Thank you for the positive feedback! I'm glad that the video helped.
Which display you have?
it works perfectly with intel driver, thank you. in my other laptop with nvidia driver, i used to follow your tutorial to eliminating screen tearing, but sometimes it goes shutdown, but i guess it is my hardware fault.
Thank you for the feedback and the subscription! I'm glad that the videos helped. What do you mean it goes shutdown?
Helpful video, Thanks. Was having screen tearing used this video before and after I reinstalled my drivers. Reinstalling drivers fixed my screen tearing problem, something never change AMD drivers are still trash.
In Windows use the Aero because the Basic or Classic is the cause of the tearing
wow you help me alot~~ thank you
Hey, I also want to say thank you very much. Switching to Aero did work for me too. I had horrible tearing. I spent $300 on a new graphics card, tried like 4 cables, moved my computer closer to TV/monitor, bought new ram, and considered throwing a brick - to fix the problem. But I was just using classic theme, and switching to the (Awful) Aero fixed it. Appreciate you.
had this issue on yt some years ago
fixed by adding browser to game list in nvidia's 3d settings and forcing vsync on
Thanks man I didn't even know that it could work with youtube videos
your amd driver fix video helped. thank you buddy
Welcome! Thank you for the positive feedback! I'm glad that the video helped.
for Linux people experiencing screen tearing when using proprietary Nvidia graphics drivers:
1. Open any terminal or a textmode session
2. Type this command:
crontab -e
3. When asked, specify your preferred text editor
4. Add the following line:
@reboot nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"
5. Save
6. Reboot
(usually fixes the problem)

@@NeonCipher I watched it. Thank you for that, my monitor is doing great then

*laughs in wayland*
Weird... I was expecting screen tearing on my setup without any compositor. Perhaps I'm synced to 60Hz by NVIDIA then.
Thank you. Very helpful for debugging!
I found the solution! At least for mine.
Make sure your *display driver is up-to-date*
How to update your display driver (on Windows 7)
Open the Start menu.
Search Device manager---> Display adapter ---> right-click your driver ---> update driver software ---> search automatically for driver.
If there is a window pop-up "installing..." and then the screens get flicked, it means the driver is installing.
Once it completed, restart the computer and it's done.
However, if it says your driver is the latest, then it must be something else.
Good luck!
ONLY WORKS IN FULL SCREEN GUYS, don't forget that!
nope, its tearing no matter if on fullscreen or not for me... i guess i have very sh*t laptop screen
@@RoN1S sorry for your poor laptop screen :( but it's normaly tearing in full screen only
thank u, Wayland
how can i check on games bc i dont think there is anything wrong with youtube or the whole pc.
This Video is Super Helpful
If you use chrome, and only notice screen tearing on say videos... it can be because "use hardware acceleration when available" under advanced settings on Chrome is turned off.
Try to turn it on and see if that helps.
I turn my use hardware acceleration off when i want to play certain games and have chrome on a second monitor, because i dont want chrome to use my GPU.
i don’t know why, but when i pause the video in certain frames the horizontal line appears, but it doesn’t move, it just stays there until i unpause the video
oh, the problem was the browser i was using. I was using firefox 82 and there was screen tearing even if I disable/enable hardware acceleration mode. I switched from firefox to vivaldi, and it's working much better now
Hi! Thank you for the feedback and the update with the solution! The horizontal line when pausing a video is a common glitch on this platform. Strictly speaking, it's not screen tearing.
guys enable hardware acceleration in chrome will fix it (Windows)
Really helpfull, Thanks
I think the screen tearing with Nvidia GPU cards like the GT730 is related to the drivers.
I've been suffering screen tearing with vlc, WMP and Chrome all along in W7 32.
I´ve tried activating V-sync and the triple buffer, reducing the refresh rate in the GPU to 59 without fixing it.
But now using vlc, WMP or Chrome in W7 64 I have no more tearing problems. Same PC, monitor, GPU, but different GPU drivers for 64 bits system!
ouuuffff, i survived the screan tearing test. thought i have to go through some graphic crap
Right-click on the desktop and click on "personalize". There you'll find the Aero-themes. Choose the "Windows 7" one and the tearing should be gone.
The only thing that worked!!
Wow, it's works
Xubuntu 20.04 zero screen tearing on the two tests. I have several other distros on flash drives and dvds and they all showed some screen tearing. I tried Mint 19.1 Cinnamon, Mint 18.3 XFCE, Xubuntu 18.04, and Xubuntu 16.04. The one that seemed slightly worse was Xubuntu 18.04, and Mint 19.1 was nearly free of screen tearing. This is using Firefox. There is zero screen tearing when using Windows 10 on this HP Desktop with HD graphics. So this is an encouraging result for Xubuntu 20.04.
Thank you for the info!
firefox users having screen tearing when scrolling, you have to turn on firefox's vsync to fix it. Go to about:config and make the following settings
gfx.vsync.refreshdriver - true
gfx.vsync.hw-vsync.enabled - false
gfx.vsync.compositor - false
I fixed it! all I had to do was enable free sync on my monitor!! one questions tho will this increase input selay??
yo thanks for the video turns out i did have an issue with my display cable not its fixed after i switched to hdmi, thank you!
Mine doesn't tear but it is extremely choppy/blinky. Anyone know a possible solution? Strains my eyes bad when scrolling or panning.
did u find ?
I was finally able to fix the screen tear, this video helped me a lot.
Thanks for the video, it wasn't my driver it was because I still use Windows 7 and didn't have Aero enabled. Classic mode makes the screen tear for some reason
I don't have if i'm only watching, but as soon as i pass my mouse over the time bar and that little window pops up, then the half of the video become "teared"
Works great on my CRT TV
i changed the playing speed to 2 and im shookt
I saw pixels flying...

i've got my my new two pc screen, is msi optix has 2560x1440, with 165hz without a problem no tearing Thanks for with this test, it saved me some time.
well i have screen tearing does that mean i need to get another monitor?
No, you do not. Screen tearing can be fixed!
Finally fixed! thanks, this video helped me a lot.
Fixed it. Just formatted my laptop and forgot that I have another monitor connected to it. The integrated display of my laptop was syncing with my second monitor (which is an older TV-Monitor) thats what was causing my tearing issue. If you have a high sync display and an old monitor/tv connected to your computer/laptop, you might want to try to just show the main display to see if your tearing goes away.
thanks for the video test, was very helpfull to fix it.
how did u fix it?
@@viraj1808 if it's to games make sure your monitor is not exceeding the native refresh rate, eg. 60,100,120,240 ect.. and enable free sync or Gsync if it's for video player make sure vsync is on, if it's for browsers make sure in your video setting you find force or enable Vsync. For that specific browser, if it's for mobile you should not encounter any screen tearing. Hope this helps
Legendaru992 thanks really appreciate it +1 sub for u
I had screen tearing in my new laptop. I fixed it by going to my corresponding graphics driver website and update the driver with latest and compatible ones.
turns out my monitor had a refresh rate of 60hz even though it was configured to run at 180 hz
The sides of the black bars are shaking is that bad?
The music at the end is beautiful, can I get the name, please
If you're using Opera GX for this you can turn on hardware acceleration to get the vsync from your GPU.
I love you. thanks!!!!!!!
yes but thats only while you are in the browser
