Annoyances with nvidia 390.25 / tearing issues
Nvidia driver has ALWAYS suffered from tearing, it's actually quite bad considering how long this has been present over the years.
I've been able to eliminate this by adding; /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf Code:
Section "Screen" This has worked without any noticable performance loss in frames per second for at least a year or two. However, since upgrading to 390.25, enabling theForceFullCompositionPipeline setting produces stuttering in every game i have tried. Despite the fps being vsynced at 60, there is still stuttering. Disabling the setting brings back the horrific tearing present across both desktop and fullscreen vsynced applications. Does anyone know if this is a regression in nvidias driver, or whether there are some other setting i can fiddle about with. I would really just like to look at my screen without the 24/7 tearing. |
Code:
for at least a year or two. However, since upgrading to 390.25 Nvidia is a corporation with investors, investors need to see a return on their investment, and it has to be more than what the bank pays or they pull their money out. As such, they cannot make a rock solid product that will only sell once, they need to sell, sell, sell in order to stay afloat, just like any other large corporation. The driver designed for your graphics device is the best driver for your graphics device. There is a driver search tool at Nvidia web site, if your graphics device is two years old, according to the search, you are likely to find you are using the wrong driver. Rarely if never, does a newer driver version give your graphics device features that were not built into your graphics device. I mean seriously, if you were happy with performance of a past driver, why do you stab yourself like this? |
Which game?
Maybe try just "Force Composition Pipeline" instead of Full Force Composition Pipeline. Code:
ForceCompositionPipeline=On |
Quote:
The card is recent enough to be using any new release of the driver, and some games on steam typically require the latest driver at release. |
Post #2 has a quote from Post #1 that says you are trying to hide behind a rock.

The tearing issue exists across all GPU's as far as i know, and the only way to previously fix it was to enable ForceFullCompositionPipeline. However, since 390.25 driver, enabling this mode causing what might be sync issues, despite vsyanc being turned on or off. It's either a choice between visible shearing/tearing, or noticable stuttering. I'm really wondering if anyone else is having this issue, and knows what other settings i can try to fiddle about with. |
Since the stuttering started in the new driver you should go tell NVIDIA: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/
