How to fix tearing on Gigabyte RTX 5060 Ti in TLOU 1?
The screen shows these blatant horizontal breaks during fast camera movements, and it's especially eye-searing at 4K. Looking at the logs, the frame time on my Gigabyte RTX 5060 Ti 16G was swinging wildly between 12ms - 28ms, meaning the monitor couldn't keep up with the GPU output. I tried just toggling V-Sync in-game, but while the tearing stopped, the input lag jumped to 45ms, making the controls feel like I was wading through mud. I went into the NVIDIA Control Panel, manually locked the G-Sync range to 48Hz - 144Hz, and enabled Low Latency Mode. Checking the RTSS curve, the frame times tightened up to 14ms - 17ms. I actually dealt with some weird brightness flickering right after enabling G-Sync, which only went away after a monitor firmware update. VRAM usage is now sitting steady at 11.2GB - 13.5GB with core temps between 62℃ - 68℃. Three hours of testing shows zero tearing, and the visual flow is just buttery.
