 @woobilicious:matrix.org | Lownin: ahh that sucks :-( tearing is so much better when your game is doing 300fps and not anywhere close to vsync. | 17:53:15 |
 @Lownin:matrix.org | woobilicious: I think that's only true on a high refresh monitor? Mine are all 60hz, so you always see the tear line and microstutters introduced by the lack of sync. | 17:56:07 |
| @woobilicious:matrix.org | Lownin: at 300fps the difference per-frame is small, and if the tear line moves unpredictably up and down the screen it's hard to see, Source games tend to be better for this, but if you have like a game with a frame-rate cap close to vsync the line becomes more noticable, I only just upgraded to >60hz this year so I know all the tricks because I hate input latency lol. | 18:04:11 |
| @Lownin:matrix.org | I was actually just experimenting with Portal 2 since I was trying to rule out native vs proton games locking up. I was running at and around 300 fps, and i could still see lots of microstutters and some tearing.
I guess in theory the tearing should be less noticeable since at such a high frame rate, the difference between frames is more minimal. Couple things might be exacerbating them for me though. The microstuttes, and being on ultrawide so a big horizontal plane difference is a bit extra for me. | 18:12:18 |
| @woobilicious:matrix.org | Lownin: does wayland itself tear like when you're in windowed mode?, disabling scanout in sway fixed a VFR bug for me, maybe that'll work for tearing as well. | 18:14:37 |
| @Lownin:matrix.org | I sort of bounced off wayland before I really tested it. Nix make it easy to try it out though. My old config is just commented out. I could take another swing at it really quick if you like. | 18:15:30 |

| @Lownin:matrix.org | woobilicious: still getting tearing in Wayland. Also, Element and discord are just black windows. I am having to use my phone. It feels faster though! | 18:29:09 |

| @woobilicious:matrix.org | Lownin: damn :-( oh well. | 18:38:11 |

| @Lownin:matrix.org | Well, shit. I went back to X11 and now the problem with games locking up when using Force Full Frame Composition is back :( | 18:54:42 |

| @Lownin:matrix.org | Seems to be solved with a backdated driver. | 19:05:37 |
| @Lownin:matrix.org | Took me a bit to figure out how to do that. | 19:07:18 |

| @Lownin:matrix.org | Older drivers are running much better across the board. Anything after 530 seems to have those issues for me. | 19:47:12 |
