Screen Tearing Caused my World Map View (AMD GPU)

Post » Sat Jul 11, 2015 10:55 am

I've been hunting down causes for my screen tearing issues. They started when I upgraded my ENB to more "modern version" as I started playing Skyrim again.

AMD cards seem to be notorious when it comes to Vsync issues and I've done pretty much everything I can to fix them. And most part it has been successful,

however when I go to world map view and exit (via fast travel or just by returning to game) screen tearing starts. I've tried few different methods of V-sync and

frame rate limiters and none of those fix this issue (where others wont fix screen tearing at all).

Currently I'm using RadeonPro to force FPS to 59 (ingame FPS still jumps between 40-120) and my screen refresh rate is set to 60 (goes up to 144 in settings).

Strangely, when I disable ENB, screen tearing stops (however it returns each time I enable ENB).

So is the game itself causing the screen tearing whenever I use world map or is it because of ENB glitches when I return from map view?

Has anyone found/know solution to this problem?

Have you checked your ENB setup to make sure it's not disabling V-Sync when it's running? It might be a setting in an .ini file.

Yeah, i've checked that. ENB Should not disable V-sync.

I tried to play around with world map more and after installing a mod that affects the map, I could enter and leave the map screen without it causing screen tearing. I'll continue testing this solution.

I'm still baffled how it fixed the problem.

Pfft, I've had ATI/AMD for the last 10 years and had zero problems.

Of course it does, its an ENB issue. Disable Vsync in SkyrimPrefs ini and enable it in the ENB settings, or is it the other way around I can't remember. Basically Skyrim or RadeonPro or the ENB are arguing about who controls the framerate, once one gets out of sync with the other, the screen tears. One or the other needs to be in control. Usually the ENB iirc.
