Just wondering if someone can help me out please ?

Just bought myself a new 144hz screen and it's amazing compared to what Im Used to, but when I'm on cut scenes on games (battlefront 2 to be precise in this case) I get horizontal lines flickering every now and again ? Can't really describe it any better sorry haha

Tearing?

 

[Brendan Chaplin]

Or visible single colour lines?

Aren't cut-scenes usually pre-rendered at 60 or 30fps? So what you might be seeing is periods where there literally isn't a frame available to show since your monitor is trying to show more than is being output by your GPU? (Something that g-sync and free-sync were created to stop, since they can alter your monitor framerate to match GPU output even during cut-scenes).

Brendan I'm.not too sure what tearing is tbf will look on YouTube now

I'm new to pc gaming come back to it 15 years later haha so a lot has changed. Only had pc for around 2 month now

It's like horizonal sections that seem out of sync lol

 

[Brendan Chaplin]

Try turning on vsync

 

[Brendan Chaplin]

Or if the monitor has freesync use it if you have a Radeon GPU

 

[Brendan Chaplin]

Or use gsync if you have NVIDIA if the monitor has it lol

 

[James Brooke]

No it's not tearing deffo not blocky sections like I've just seen. It's just singular lines

 

[Brendan Chaplin]

Care to try record/photograph?

I doubt that will work Brendan, since cameras also have a different aperture rate to monitors. Anything they show will likely be due to the difference between the camera rate and monitor rate, rather than what is actually visible to the eye
