Excessive Screen Tearing on High End PC

I'm running across ALOT of excessive screen tearing. I've tried enabling V-Sync in Nvidia settings and I've tried a lot of things but still nothing as worked.

I run the game on Max settings I have a 27" Monitor 1920 x 1080 @ 60 hz and below is my benchmark results with computer information. In the benchmark I don't see any tearing so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try running the game in borderless windowed mode.

have you tweaked the clocks (overclocked)? If so, have you tried notching them back a bit (might be a bit too aggressive)?

Also, have you set everything to application control in the driver so that you don't have any potential weirdness there?

What package are you running? Not the 9.xx.xxxx.xxxx version of that individual file, but the nVidia Geforce version number (3xx.xx numbering system). Can get it from the nVidia control panel by clicking the Help menu up top, then selecting the System Info.

Perhaps someone can give a recommendation for a better driver to try. Seem to recall there was a recent beta that fixed a lot of problems for people--was up in the 320's or something. (I haven't needed to try different drivers yet in my laptop--the stock Asus ones seem to be working OK).

lol.. in all these years, I never even noticed that. I always just pulled it from the control panels--old habits die hard I guess.

The beta that I was trying to recall was 326.80. Might be worth a try, who knows. Unless perhaps people later found more issues that needed to be addressed with a newer release.
