Understanding and fixing screen tearing in gaming

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Screen tearing is a visual artifact that occurs when a graphics processing unit (GPU) renders frames at a different rate than a computer monitor can display them. This mismatch causes the monitor to show parts of multiple frames simultaneously, resulting in a jagged appearance. Technologies like NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync, and V-Sync aim to synchronize the GPU's output with the monitor's refresh rate to prevent this issue, though V-Sync can sometimes introduce input lag or stuttering.
