How to fix screen tearing on Zotac RTX 5060 Ti 16GB in F1 25?
At 300 km/h, I was seeing blatant horizontal tear lines across the middle of the screen, which was a total eyesore during fast cornering. My Zotac RTX 5060 Ti 16GB was pushing 140-160 FPS, but G-Sync was failing on my specific driver version, meaning the refresh rate and frame rate were completely out of sync. I tried basic in-game V-Sync, but it added about 20ms of input lag, making the steering feel sluggish—a safe but unplayable solution for a racing game. I updated to the latest Game Ready driver and set V-Sync to 'Fast' in the NVIDIA Control Panel, while capping the max frame rate at 141 FPS. RivaTuner showed frame times tightening from 6-15ms jumps to a rock-solid 6.8-7.2ms, and the tearing vanished. I did see some slight flickering right after enabling Fast Sync, but locking the monitor to exactly 144Hz killed that. VRAM usage is steady at 6.2-7.1GB, and core temps are sitting at 62-68℃.
