Hi,

if anyone is having problems with 'tearing in screen' ie when you move pilot head with trk ir or mouse please try the following simple trick.

obviosly make sure your game is on open GL & not direct X

Vsynk is On in nvidia control panel

AND this is the one that got me, put screen refresh to 60 hertz.

I don't know why but the refresh rate helps a lot. I upgraded from a 7900 to a 8800.

7900 never gave me issues, last week upgraded & the 8800 was giving me issues??? found no solution until i changed the screen refresh from 75hertz down to 60 hertz.

that fixed it, haven't got a clue why, i thought higher was better.......anyone kinows enough to find a reasoning?

hope it helps with your post :roll:

The reason is simple. You were running your monitor at a refresh rate higher than recommended for the video card/monitor combination. Vsync syncronizes the refresh rate of the card to that of the monitor. You get verticle tearing when the card tries to update the video date faster than the monitor can resond. Almost all LCD monitors will max out at 60hz (60 Frames per second). If you try to go above this, the monitor can't refresh fast enough. It will look o.k. with Vsync turned off as long as you are looking straight ahead, but when you turn your head quickly or snap view, you get the tearing.

Bottom line: The human eye can't register anything above 32fps anyway so leave your Vsync turned on. ESPECIALLY if you are using a Track Ir.
