I’ve been trying to plink away at this issue for the past several days but can’t seem to get it where I’d like. I have 3 monitors total. All 3 screens have at least some screen tearing but my primary display has an insane amount - changing the refresh rate on it doesn’t seem to help.
I also don’t know if it’s related to the screen tearing but when playing videos and minecraft on my primary display there’s something almost like artifacting/weird color patches. My fading effect when switching workspaces also looks terrible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if there’s any other info I can pull from my system please direct me and I will provide the results asap.
*Edit - for added clarity, my primary display is the one showing as 165hz
