Why is my RX 9070 XT Alloy tearing in Nioh?
Whenever I'm fighting high-frequency mobs, a subtle horizontal break appears mid-screen, which is incredibly distracting during fast dodges. The default sync on the VastArmor Radeon RX 9070 XT Alloy had a tiny offset of 2.4ms - 4.1ms at 144Hz, meaning the frame buffer and monitor refresh weren't hitting the same window. I tried the in-game V-Sync first, but that added about 15ms of input lag, which just kills the soul of an action game. Instead, I dove into the driver panel, locked the sampling rate to 100%, and toggled Enhanced Sync with Low Latency mode on. Checking with a frame time analyzer, the intervals tightened from 6.9-11.2ms down to 6.1-6.8ms, killing the tearing while keeping the response snappy. It was a bit glitchy at first with some micro-stutters until I capped the frame rate at 141 FPS for peak stability. Core temps sat at 62-67℃ and VRAM stayed between 75-81℃. Exported the sampling parameters and the frame generation time finally locked in at 5.1-6.4ms.
