What kind of tearing is my GPU displaying?

[Hieya]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWBV-5eSxtUI play all my games and i get this motion blur tearing were it shows the previous frame slightly.
I tried updating drivers and set my monitor to 144hz (VG248QE). I also tried contacting nvidia and trying different settings. Basically i am trying to figure out if the problem is my monitor or GPU. I only have one card.

Here is my setup :http://pcpartpicker.com/p/df7dK8 (updated)

Quick Show : gtx 970 G1 / i-7 4790k / 16gb ram

What kind of lag/tearing is it and is my monitor or Gpu?

-Thank you for any help, its much appreciated.

It's most likely not the monitor, but it's almost impossible to be sure or to tell you what kind of tearing it is without a screen shot.

Update Sorry

Here is the youtube link I forgot to post : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWBV-5eSxtU

Hi,
Looks memory related whether that is gpu mem or ram :?

Just a note just one of those gpu's minimal psu is 500w

The cpu cooler does seem like the weakest link on the build to me 30.us cooler to cool a 4Ghz+ cpu :/
That cpu needs liquid cooling

 

[Hieya]

Gpu?/ram?

The GPU is the GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GeForce GTX 970....link :GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GeForce GTX 970 DirectX 12 GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD (rev. 1.0/1.1) 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support ATX Video Card - Newegg.com

My RAM is the G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Can RAM cause tearing and I only have one GPU. I updated the list, sorry about that.

I need to know whats the main cause so I can return the defective item.

Also I will look into the CPU cooling

Post a manufacturer link to your card and your monitor.

Ok, I see the card link above, but it`s always better to post a Gigabyte link

Monitor please.

If you could return anything, I`d get rid of that that Asrock board.

I think the card is fine and the cpu is a monster, I have one.

Did you install the latest drivers from nvidia ? 361.43 ? Optimize the game ?

 

[Hieya]

Whats wrong with the MOBO is it bottlenecking?

I have the VG248QE monitor (144hz) :https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/VG248QE/

Here is the link of the tearing/stutter :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWBV-5eSxtU

Yes i installed the latest drivers.

Is it tearing or micro stutter because I am not sure?

-thank you for continuing in assisting me

 

[AddRAM]

I just don`t think it`s any good, after all it says it cost $99, is that correct ?

Your monitor looks fine, your card looks fine, and it`s definitely not the cpu.

Why do you keep shaking the game around ? Just post a video of the game playing.

One other thing, is the resolution set to 1920 x 1080 at 144 Hz ? (Important)

Have you run any Unigine benchmarks ?

Run Heaven, Run Valley. On the Extreme preset, save the results, it will show you the path where they are saved, post the pics of the results. (in C, your user folder)

https://unigine.com/en/products/benchmarks/valley

https://unigine.com/en/products/benchmarks/heaven

Do not run them on any setting but Extreme and in a full 1920 x 1080 window.

A result will look like this, on this run I used the Extreme HD preset.

Picture of Heaven results :

In cinematic view it seems fine and kind of smooth but when walkin around it seems all jittery like it that minecraft video i posted.

FYI : Minecraft is just one of the games I play XD i just didnt this exp computer to play minecraft XD

-thank you for your continued support

 

[AddRAM]

Ok you ran a custom preset, I asked you to run it on Extreme, please try again, we have to keep the results consistent.

What view are you talking about, Heaven ? Just run the benchmark please. Do not change anything while it`s benchmarking.

 

[Hieya]

Here is the results for the Valley Benchmarks

 

[AddRAM]

Not too bad, now let`s compare it to others with a 970 in the benchmarks forum.

http://www.sevenforums.com/benchmarks/223272-show-us-your-unigine-heaven-benchmark-scores.html

You`re actually on par or even a tad better then some of the 970 scores.

 

[Hieya]

Would this indicate why I am getting tearing/stuttering? It shows that I am about a 980 in the benchmarks link you gave me. So does that mean everything is fine in my PC or what does this indicate?

 

[AddRAM]

I`m still having trouble with your youtube video, you keep moving all over the place, play the game and film that.

That game looks ancient, WTH is it ?

Download this game and play it, it`s a small file and free, let us know how it looks.

Red Crucible®: Firestorm on Steam

Also run winsat mem in an elevated command prompt, what`s the score ?

type winsat mem, then hit enter

also, post a snip of your Windows Experience Index.

 

[Hieya]

the game you recommended was loading slow.

 

[AddRAM]

No go with your video, it doesn`t play.

Could you please do the other 2 things I asked

You should also consider an ssd for windows.

SSD 850 EVO 2.5" SATA III 250GB | Samsung Solid State Drives

Great choice on the Power Supply

 

[Hieya]

Windows Index :

I could not use the game because even training wasnt not loading.

Is there something i did? I ran the winsat mem on cmd. What do I continue to do?

 

[AddRAM]

Something is really wrong if you can`t even get that simple game to load and run.

Your Windows Experience Index looks great, you would get a 7.9 with a solid state drive, something to think about.

What was the winsat mem score ?

 

[Hieya]

 

[AddRAM]

That`s a bit of a low score for 1600 MHz memory, believe it or not memory does help with gaming.

I`m at a loss, but I`m going with my instincts and concluding it must be the sub par motherboard.

There was also some talk about issues with the 970 not utilizing all 4 GB of the memory on the card.

I would research that.

Tommy has 2 Gigabyte 980 Windforce G1`s and he loves them, so it has to be a decent made card.

But a 970 is not a 980
