How to stop screen tearing with the Gigabyte RTX 5060 AERO OC?
The visual tearing while sprinting through the Lands Between was an absolute nightmare until I decided to dig into the settings. My Gigabyte RTX 5060 AERO OC was holding a steady 2450 MHz, but the output was fluctuating between 55 - 63 FPS, creating a massive phase mismatch with my 144 Hz monitor. My first instinct was to turn on in-game V-Sync, but that was a huge mistake—input lag jumped to over 40 ms, and it felt like I was playing in a swamp. I felt totally defeated. I ended up disabling all in-game sync and switched to NVIDIA Low Latency Mode combined with Fast Sync in the control panel. Checking my frame time analyzer, the intervals tightened from 16 - 22 ms down to a consistent 14 - 16 ms, and the tearing completely vanished. I actually messed up and disabled full-screen optimizations during the process, which caused the game to crash repeatedly until I reset to system defaults. Now the GPU sits at 62 - 67℃ with fans at 1300 RPM. The visual fluidity is finally where it needs to be.
