nvidia tearing. I need help.

>>57609302
Buy a 480 and stop getting jewed by nvidia

use more lube

I have linux mint and my .conf file is as follows

Section "Device"
Identifier "intel"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0@0:2:0"
Option "AccelMethod" "SNA"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "intel"
Device "intel"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1@0:0:0"
Option "ConstrainCursor" "off"
Option "RegistryDwords" "PerfLevelSrc=0x2233"
Option "TripleBuffer" "True"
EndSection

>>57609307
it's a laptop. not possible

if i have this setup

Section "Device"
Identifier "intel"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0@0:2:0"
Option "AccelMethod" "SNA"
EndSection

Section "Screen"

EndSection

there's no tearing but my cinnamon dekstop crashes.

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }"

>>57609375
where do I put that?
sorry I'm a bit of a noob.

>>57609386
run it in terminal

>>57609390
do I need to run it with sudo?

>>57609390
>>57609386
>>57609375

do NOT run that, your card is going to max consumption until it burns itself out

>>57609404
you shouldn't, no
>>57609407
http://www.thelinuxrain.com/articles/got-tearing-with-proprietary-nvidia-try-this

>>57609407
already did it how do I correct

>>57609415

start shopping for an amd

>>57609407
>>>57609375
>do NOT run that, your card is going to max consumption until it burns itself out
It's still running, no fault yet

>>57609448
she's meming you, it's a safe command
more importantly, did it fix the tearing?

>>57609452
I rebooted. Got scurred.

>>57609471
you'll have to run it again then

>>57609482
>nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }"
Do I have to run this command everytime I boot?

>>57609506
try it and see if it works
if so, then you can add

Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"

under the Screen section of your xorg.conf

>>57609523
I hope you're not bullshitting. I'll try this out. If it works a million thank yous.

>>57609536
it works, i had to do it on my laptop
normally i would just tell people to google it but it took me a while to find a working solution so i figured i'd help

>>57609546
Awesome, Yeah there's not much solutions out there. Can you go a little in depth as to why this works over other methods such as this https://iwf1.com/finally-nvidia-tearing-issue-fix-found/

>>57609570
because it's a problem exclusive to keplar and newer gpus, and that's the only solution i've found that works

>>57609307
When are they going to make a GPU that's on par/better than my 980ti? I want to sell it and go AMD, but I don't want a downgrade in performance.

>>57609594
good enough. Thank you good sir.

>>57609594
have you thought about putting this answer in the linux forums. People would be very appreciative.

>>57609523
also do i need to log out and back in for effects to take?

>>57609655
if editing xorg, you'll need to restart x
if you just run the command then it should be immediate

>>57609635
It's already in the arch wiki

>>57609662
no it's not

>>57609599
vega hopefully

>>57609662
i don't use arch. I use mint

>>57609817
arch posed too many problems I couldn't fi

>>57609302

use

vsync

or

play borderless fullscreen

or

get a 144hz monitor

or

get over it

>>57609829
figure it out

>>57609830
you seem retarded

>>57609302
Uninstall Linux

>>57610114
good advice.

>>57609302
>Buying nvidia

>>57610268
It came with the computer. I hate nvidia. smokin deal though. Bought it from a friend for 450. 130GB ssd and 1 tb hdd and 8gb ram. i7 processor.

>>57610268
no one chooses to buy nvidia

>>57610302
so just slap in an RX 470 when you get a chance

>>57610325
what part of laptop do you not understand?

>>57610302
>computer
>>57610339
>laptop
WHICH IS IT!

>>57609333
>laptop
also a laptop is a computer.

>>57610353
I didn't say desktop

>>57610343
Of course! Laptops aren't computers. How silly of him.

>>57609830
>vsync
introduces input lag, if your fps drops below 60 it has to cut it in half to keep working.

>play borderless fullscreen
see above

>get a 144hz monitor
does not eliminate tearing. Can in fact make tearing worse since it's harder to hit 144fps than 60fps.

>get over it
you can't just "get over" being ocd about screen tearing.

As it stands right now, video games are literally, LITERALLY unplayable until better sync solutions become more widely available.

>>57609320
I find that only enabling SNA gets rid of tearing in games and videos for me.

>>57609386
put it in your nvidia conf or set as xrandr nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }" in your ~/.xinit.rc

>>57609302
>>57609320
>>57609357
You fucked up m8,
Mint is only usable with default driver it comes with.

To properly install nvidia driver you have to do it manually, search google how to do manual install, be warned its not easy, also if you were to upgrade the driver you will have to repeat the whole process again.
If done correctly you will have nvidia-settings full of features and options


Regarding system crash its like a 15 year old bug with a trackpad and nvidia x implementation. Use mouse and disable trackpad.

As of 375.10, you no longer need the metamode setup as it was moved to an xorg option.

or developers stop releasing garbage and instead optimize their games so they're actually playable rather than slow trash incapable of being enjoyable without retarded ammount of money sunk on hardware that will be obsolete within a two year time frame
