How to fix sync conflicts on Zotac RTX 5060 Ti 16GB XGAMING?
This was ridiculous. Even with a 144Hz monitor, the Zotac RTX 5060 Ti 16GB XGAMING was producing these horizontal tears in Ray Tracing mode that made it look like a slideshow. VRAM was bouncing between 11 - 13GB, but the sync signals were totally out of whack with the 16.6ms cycle. I tried turning sync off in-game, which just made the tearing twice as bad—a total waste of time. I eventually forced 'Fast Sync' via the NVIDIA driver and capped the max frame rate at 141 FPS to stay just under the refresh limit. Looking at the RivaTuner graph, the frame time went from a jagged 12 - 25ms mess to a nearly flat line. The tearing vanished instantly. I did notice a slight increase in input lag (maybe 5ms) at first, but enabling 'Low Latency Mode' made it feel snappy again. GPU temps are sitting at 65 - 72℃ with fans at 1800 RPM. Performance logs confirm the sync is now perfect, and the fans are steady at 1800 - 1900 RPM.
