    HELP TO resolve page tearing!
    « on: March 28, 2010, 05:58:18 PM »
    I have some serious page tearing, and it is getting rather annoying..how can I fix this?  :report:

    Here are my system specs: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&safe=off&q=gateway+fx6800&cid=13314886346559392839&sa=title&os=tech-specs

      What component should I upgrade to get rid of the screen tearing...BY THE WAY, if I try to set my graphic cards setting all the way, the game's shrubbery turns to this:



    What component should I upgrade to be capable of ramping the gpu settings?  Thank you for all the assist  :!:

        Send your vid card back under Warranty...

           Are you sure that it isn't the psu? And how would I send my gpu back under warranty? (Where can I find it)

            You go to the Company website of the card that made it and register it in your name and they'll let you know what to do after that.  or to the store you purchased it at. :-\

                I don't think that those warranties apply because I bought a GatewayFX system with the components already in there (I bought it from Newegg) so I would get my warranty from there.. HOWEVER, I have another question..

                Does the warranty come with the pc, or did I have to buy one?

              The PC and all components should be under warranty...
              I believe newegg carries 1 Year on pre-built PC's.

              You seem to be talking about two problems.  Your image does not show Screen tearing (at least, I see not Screen tearing in it); it just shows blurred objects in the image, which is not Screen tearing as defined at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing.

                 Oops, I thought I made it clear that I had a two part question... THE PICTURE DOES NOT EXEMPLIFY PAGE TEARING!

                   Screen tearing?  I have some serious screen tearing and I was wondering that if I bought a CorsairTX 750w, would this fix NOT ONLY the tearing, but problems with my graphics when I set the gpu settings to extremely high.

                  Why start a new Topic ? ?
                  The card will only perform up to it's specs...
                  Return that one as suggested and purchase a better card...

                     I can't buy a new "better" card because of my power supply... so that's really not an option right now.
