Screen Tearing - magnum354 - 06-20-2020

Hi. I'm new to dolphin but I noticed the same screen tearing when I was on full screen and I think I might be able to add some advice. After trying many different settings, including enabling V-sync, I found that changing the 3D process from OPENGL to DirectX-11 fixed the screen tearing. I'm using a GTX 1650 GPU, so idk if that had anything to do with it but now all the games I've played, run smooth in full screen using DirectX-11. Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem. Btw everyone on here is awesome and I really appreciate how helpful everyone is. Thank you all.

V-sync option theoretically should work only in full screen mode. And depend on implementation, only in dx modes.

If you want prevent screen tearing in opengl applications, go to nvidia control panel and enable tripple buffering.
