Screen Tearing for nvidia FIX

[KoO]

To stop screen tearing Nvidia

This must be done with the command line from su = Root

enter super user mode
$ su + password then type nvidia-settings

Open: NVIDIA X Server Settings -> X Server Display Configuration go to Advanced... ->

Select Force Full Composition Pipeline set-> ViewPortOut -> 1920x1080+0+0 <<<< what ever your display resolution is >>>>>>

click apply

Save to X configuration File Done!

I have tried this and it works for me..

There have been posts about this before.

When the settings cannot be saved to X (due to absence of an xorg.conf file) the solution is to add this line to sessions and startup:

Code: Select all

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On }"

This code is also not dependent on the resolution of the monitor, nor the port it is connected to.

Just to check ER: you mean set up an autostart in Session and Startup with that as the command, right?

[Eadwine Rose]

yep

I have that exact line in an entry in there.

Ehm.. yeah.. usually when you clicked on it it would become big enough so it could be READ.

Anyway.. that is the code and I put SceenTearingFix in the name field.

I have tried the above with no resolution to my screen tearing issue. Is there something else that I could possibly try?

You can try changing your compositor from xfwm4 (assuming you are using xfwm4) to compton or compiz or kwin one of them might work.

Can you give us the output of

Code: Select all

inxi -G

so we can see what hardware and driver you're dealing with?

[WyCKyD]

Code: Select all

Graphics:  Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 390.87 
           Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.19.2 driver: nvidia resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz 
           OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.87

I guess it would be better described as artifacts instead of tearing. Here is a picture of what I am talking about...

I'm not certain what the problem is; what I see looks like you have Dock Shadows set "On" I have attached settings that might fix the problem. See attached:

I tried the changes and turned the dock shadows off. Unfortunately, it didn't solve the issue. I did notice that when exiting the game of WoW that the menus and everything else besides the gameplay looks great, it is just when you select a character and are in the open world that the artifacts are there (really bad, that it is unplayable. I do appreciate all of the suggestions and am trying everything that is thought of.
