    4890 1GB screen tear issues? or sync?


    I have windows 7 7600 x64 and using the newest official Catalyst drivers from ATI for the Radeon 4890 1GB video card I own.

    However I have noticed some little issues in games. Two games Im currently playing Trine, and Mass Effect show what I call a tear (its not anything missing) but when your running around you see a visible line move its way up the screen like your watching a fast refresh on PC-Anywhere or something.

    It does not effect the game at all, or slow it down and its not 100% of the time its when your running or moving side to side etc. Always while in motion.

    I thought maybe it was a vsync issue so Checked that in the graphic settings for Mass Effect but no difference. Does anyone know what Im referring to if there is a proper name and how I can go about reducing it or eliminating it in games?

    In Trine it does it as well when IM running and jumping around (side scroller)

    appreciate your input and help.

    No, you were right about the screen tearing being a vsync issue. Check your 3D settings in the Catalyst suite and try setting it to "Always On"

    However, the settings in CCC don't always over-ride game settings.... it's worth trying anyway
