How to fix screen tearing with Gloway Dragon Warrior Yi DDR5 6000?
Whenever my character dashed across the map, I saw obvious horizontal tearing at the edges of the screen. It was a jarring experience that meant I had to get serious about memory sync. While the Gloway Dragon Warrior Yi DDR5 6000MHz 32GB has insane bandwidth, the memory controller latency was fluctuating between 72ns - 85ns, causing a mismatch with the refresh rate. I tried forcing Exclusive Fullscreen in the GPU panel, but that just added about 15ms of input lag—a total trade-off I wasn't willing to make. I went into the BIOS, switched the Gear mode from Gear 2 to Gear 1, and enabled the motherboard's memory sync enhancement. Using a frame analyzer, I saw the frame generation time tighten from a 6-18ms swing to a stable 8-11ms, and the tearing disappeared. I actually failed POST three times after switching to Gear 1, and I had to drop the frequency slightly to 5800MHz to get it to boot. Memory temps stayed at 54℃ - 60℃ at 1.35V. RivaTuner confirmed a 99% sync rate.
