How does screen tearing look like?
A common problem in modern computing: an introduction to screen tearing
What is screen tearing?
Screen tearing occurs when there is a conflict between the graphics processing unit (GPU) and the display panel. When playing graphics-intensive games or displaying content at high resolutions and refresh rates, the GPU often renders frames faster than the monitor can display. As a result, a temporary line, or tear, can form between two lines, or pixels, rendering one portion of the displayed content and causing it to "stutter" between lines or frames.
When is screen tearing usually visible?
- Fast-paced movements on screen
- Gaming applications at high refresh rates or graphics settings
- Monitor’s refresh rate different from the frame rate cap in graphics software (i.e., rendering more frames per second than the monitor is able to display)
-
Limited horizontal or vertical frames causing temporary alignment issues
