How to stop screen tearing on Sapphire RX 9070 XT 16G?
That jagged line cutting across the screen during combat was absolutely killing my experience; it's way worse than just seeing a dip in FPS. On a 4K panel, the Sapphire RX 9070 XT's frame sync was drifting badly in the 85-110 FPS range. I tried enabling V-Sync in-game, but the input lag jumped to over 30ms, making the combat feel like I was playing underwater. I switched gears, went into the AMD Software, changed FreeSync from 'Enhanced' to 'Standard,' and capped the refresh rate at 144Hz. Suddenly, the tearing vanished and frame times settled into a tight 6-9ms window. I did run into some annoying flickering when I first enabled FreeSync due to a monitor handshake issue, but a clean driver update sorted it out. Core temps sat at 68-74℃ with fans at 1200 RPM. I used a frame analysis tool to confirm a 99% sync rate, and VRAM temps stayed chill at 58-63℃.
