Why is my Vastarmor RX 9070 XT tearing during high-speed turns?
When hitting 300km/h on the straights, the visuals were getting sliced by horizontal tear lines, which felt like a total throwback to old sync conflicts. The Vastarmor Radeon RX 9070 XT Super Alloy is a beast, with frames jumping wildly between 160 - 180 FPS, completely blowing past my monitor's refresh rate. I first tried enabling standard V-Sync in-game, but that was a nightmare—input lag spiked to 45ms, making the steering wheel feel like it was dragging through mud. I pivoted to the AMD Software panel, toggled on FreeSync compatible mode, and manually capped the max frame rate at 141 FPS while enabling Anti-Lag. Checking RivaTuner, the frame time graph went from a jagged mess to a flat line, with latency dropping to 12 - 15ms. I did hit a snag where the screen flickered black initially, but swapping to a certified DP 1.4 cable sorted it out. Core temps stayed between 62 - 68℃. After verifying the OSD, the refresh rate and FPS are perfectly locked, with frame generation times steady at 5.1 - 6.4ms.
