Fixing frame sync on Sapphire RX 9070 XT 16G?
The screen was literally splitting in half, especially when zooming through Manhattan at 4K; it was an absolute eyesore. My Sapphire RX 9070 XT 16G core clock was bouncing between 2600-2800MHz, but frame times were all over the place, ranging from 6.5ms to 15.2ms. My first instinct was to toggle V-Sync in-game, but that introduced a disgusting amount of input lag, which is a dealbreaker for me. Instead, I went into the AMD Adrenalin software, set Anti-Lag to 'Ultra', and capped the max frame rate at 141 FPS to stay just below my monitor's 144Hz refresh rate. Using a latency analyzer, I saw the frame time variance shrink to a tight 6.8-8.2ms, and the tearing vanished. I actually messed up by disabling Fullscreen Optimizations at one point, which caused the game to crash every ten minutes until I reverted it. GPU load is now a steady 85-90% with fans at 1500-1700 RPM. Everything is finally synced up.
