How to fix screen tearing on Zotac 5060 Ti XGAMING?
It was insane—I was hitting 110 FPS in Overdrive mode, but the screen was tearing so badly it looked like the image was being sliced in half. The Zotac RTX 5060 Ti 8GB XGAMING OC output was completely out of sync with my monitor's refresh rate. I tried the in-game V-Sync, but input lag shot up to 40ms+, making the mouse feel like it was stuck in mud. I ditched that and went to the NVIDIA Control Panel to force G-Sync Compatible mode and capped the max frame rate at 141 FPS (3 below my refresh rate). Latency tests showed end-to-end lag drop from 35-50ms to a tight 18-22ms. I had some slight flickering when I first enabled G-Sync, but a monitor firmware update and color recalibration fixed it. GPU temps are holding at 66-71℃ with fans at 1700 RPM. I saved the profile via a system snapshot, and the response now feels instant.
