Why does my Manli RTX 5080 OC tear during fast movement?
Whenever I trigger a fast movement command, a blatant horizontal split appears across the middle of the screen, which is absolutely jarring at 4K resolution. The Manli Snow Fox RTX 5080 OC has insane GDDR7 bandwidth, but the output frames were swinging wildly between 140 - 180 FPS, creating a massive phase shift against my 144Hz refresh rate. I first tried enabling V-Sync in-game, but that was a nightmare; input lag spiked over 40ms, making the character feel like they were wading through mud. I eventually headed into the NVIDIA Control Panel, manually capped the Max Frame Rate to 141 FPS, and toggled G-Sync Compatible mode. Checking RTSS, the frame time collapsed from a shaky 5 - 12ms range into a rock-steady 7ms line, and the tearing vanished. I did notice some slight stuttering right after the cap, but switching the Power Management Mode to 'Prefer Maximum Performance' fixed it. Core temps sat at 62 - 68℃ while VRAM stayed between 75 - 82℃. Frame time analyzer confirms the sync waveforms are now perfectly aligned at 6.8 - 7.2ms.
