Horizontal "sreen tearing" lines at 60 fps

[UnItdEcko]

Hi, when I play lets say skyrim or bf3 (even magicka loos choppy but with a fps shower it says 60fps smooth,maybe its just the game) I'm always at 60 fps steady but when I look down or up the sreen is really choppy and vertical lines (really thin) move up.
I have a 7950 3GB twin frozor OC graf. card an Intel i5-3570k so I dont think its my pc specs but rather the screen. Is that possible, do I need to adjust something or buy a new one? the screen res is 1920x1080, 20,000,000:1 contrast,2ms en hdmi


Thanks in advance

have you got vsync enabled in the games?

 

[UnItdEcko]

Yes all the drivers are also up to date so dont know what it is for example im playing dark souls right now and when i look from down to up a horizontal line moves along

Tom didn't say anything about drivers. You have screen tearing, which means the frames per second are exceeding your monitors refresh rate. There should be an option in the video settings called Vsync. Make sure that it is enabled.

Skyrim doesnt have Vsync option in game or in startup i enabled in the files so normaly its on but didnt do it and also tried an fps limitter but still had minor issues such as random lag in a dungeon while outdoors i had steady frames wich doesnt even make sense sinse a dungeon is instanced so yeah really dont know what the issue is

K wow ok I can see he's the funny one in the group and catalyst control center? really thats the best solution ou can give me? that was the first place I went and chaged things...

 

[yassarikhan786]

Do you use fraps or msi ab to monitor the frame rates? What monitor are you using and what is its resolution?

A quick Google tells me that vsync in enabled in Skyrim by default, but that the tearing is likely an issue with the Catalyst drivers. You could try using a 3rd party program to limit your fps to 60 or less. That might do the trick.

I don't play Skyrim or own an AMD card, but I found that info in about 2 minutes. See how easy it is?

He's already tried an fps limiter. It's most likely a driver related issue.
