I just stole my buddies 3dmark06 to run a quick test...as some remember I been having some issue with monitor "tearing" randomly I think is the technical for it.

Anyways I ran it and this is my results.



Anything look off here? The reason I ask is the CPU test was getting 1-2 FPS which seems really off...but I never ran this before. He seems to think something isn't working right and I am just about beaten here ^-^


*edit*

Here is as screenshot of the issue. NOW this happens inside the player (if I make it smaller it wont do it on my desktop)

CPU test is always about 1-2fps, is your card overclocked? Tearing is usually a sign of too high of a clock or overheating, what kinda temps did you run throughout the test on your gpu?
 
I think the tearing is because V-sync is turned off by default for 3DMark tests. When the frame refreshes asynchronously with the monitor, you can see tearing.

I think he means he is tearing while playing other games, and is using 3dmark to troubleshoot..

correct sir. I was told perhaps it was a screw up there. At this point I have tried everything but a new LCD monitor (which I don't have) BUT it happens on my 32 inch LCD TV only when its connected to PC as well...which makes me think its not the monitor but a setting/issue.


GTX is stock with stock cooling...idle temps are 49c...load is 60c this is a 192 core so not the nice 55nm 216 ^-^

My quad runs 34-33-27-32 and with pime95 stays around 55c-58c


The tearing happens on movies/games....not all the time but from time to time.

vsync is it enabled by default? I never enable it in games since it always crashed me in the past with my 8800GT and CRT monitor.



Mind you this isn't like artifcating or anything but imagine your screen...now from side to side cut it down the middle. Well that cut is what it looks like a clear line across the middle...goes in and out fast when it happens (half a second) and it will happen randomly. I watched a show and it happened 3 times in 5 minutes...I rewatched those 5 mins again and it didn't happen again.

Also sorry bout the late reply....bad storm lost internet last night just got it back.


*edit*


Added this..finally got a good screenshot of it. Every time before it either did it to fast or it came out "correct" after I hit print.

That actually does look like a v-sync issue. Try going into the nvidia control panel and force enable v-sync. It's worth a shot.

Still does it after I did it. If I force off it does it in 3 places after though if that helps you?
 
Interesting I enabled Triple Buffering as a "global" option and it hasn't happened yet. I will watch a 10-15 minutes see if it actually did anything.
 
It appears to help my monitor but it still does it on the TV. I am thinking my jackass set up is doing it.

Going to get a HDMI cable see if it clears it up. My old TV was a CRT 32 inch so I had to use a modulator for video/sound to go through a coax line.

It might not be able to buffer the image because of the line...maybe.


My set up looks kinda like this

GPU - S-Video to RCA Female - RCA video to Modulator to Coax to TV....which could cause problems.

Do you have your output set to 30hz?If not that could be causing it..
 
Would seem I am correct...VGA looks much better and no issues.

Just a shame I need 20FT of VGA cable and 10 feet of RCA ><

Costly setup!


Thanks for all the help guys.
