I've got a pc I built in 2010 or so, I've upgraded bios, fresh install of windows upgrade the video card and memory. and nothing I seem to do prevents video tearing, Im beginning to believe its the cpu thats the bottle neck I have a 1050TI, 24gb of ram, an SSD as my main drive. any video I play from youtube, or anything local experiences a lot of tearing even at 1080p, strange thing is I don't see the CPU working over time or messing up its the only component left that I haven't swapped out. Should I upgrade the processor?
I've tried different monitors but I just think the CPU is the bottle neck.
would the current cpu I have struggle at just playing 1080p videos not even at 60fps
Adrian Gutierrez
Have you tried replacing the cable between your monitor and video card? No
Jonathan Hall
I've gone from hdmi to dvi to displayport. nothing helps.
Jordan Kelly
Has it always done this?
Henry Gutierrez
It was fine a few years back from what I can remember, i figured the gpu was dated and that was the issue. I even used a shittier monitor rather than my 2k or 4k monitors to see if it would resolve, nothing seemed to really work. is there any other information i can provide you anons that would be helpful? this thing has ran like a champ for the last 9 years its just now that i am starting to see the choppy video issue, I've got fiber-internet ram never even hits close to the 24gb that it has. I am not understand why the videos are just so teary, I have the latest nvidia drivers, tried several things.

>stock base clock Anything in the i7-9xx series (and the equivalent xeons) overclocks to 4+ easily.
Sebastian Myers
Tearing is from pushing more frames then the monitor can handle, what's your monitor refresh rate? Are you playing games? If so turn on Vsync
Jayden Carter
60hz dell ultra wide 2560x1080 (it did awful) and a 60hz view sonic 2365-led are the two monitors i tried, obviously the view sonic did much better.
Austin King
Have you tried switching between software and hardware decoding?
Nolan Hernandez
do you mean using nvidias panel or is there a windows option for this that overrides any other software?
Ian Richardson
I'd upgrade the processor and the motherboard, because I think that's the same motherboard/processor as my relative's and it doesn't function right at all. I think it's that specific processor because it's been doing that from day one. Otherwise the builders fucked it completely.
Chase Butler
Both. Turn off hardware acceleration in whatever browser you're using for youtube. I'd assume there's an option in your Nvidia driver to default to hardware for decoding supported video codecs. Also, did you turn on any overlays or video correction using the Nvidia control panel. The other options are to rollback to an older video driver and see if that changes things. I say this because you shouldn't have problems playing local video files using H/W or software decoding.
Grayson Anderson
is it worth it to upgrade to w10 ltsc from ltsb?
Lincoln Scott
I thought about that too user, but i have so many applications and shit i know just werks (tm) in w7 It's not my only computer, but the one I've had the longest.
Ryder Torres
Change your monitor refresh rate to 59hz
Eli Clark
>stay on W7 just when the crying about xp being kill finally stopped here comes you win7 cunts. install linux or toss your toaster in trash you fucking nigger. kys.
Benjamin Perry
You're acting like CPUs have massively improved since then. An i7 980 or xeon equivalent, combined with its massive OC potential, is only going to be, at worst, about 50% slower than an 8700.
Luis Sanchez
the only faggots crying about XP being dead were you retards throwing massive trantrums every time you saw a luna taskbar past 2014 lmao
Alexander Ward
>You're acting like CPUs have massively improved since then. nah, i'm acting like win7 is an unsupported pile of shit. because it is. i really don't give a shit what cpu you own. nigger.
cope.
Adrian Jones
>>>>>or toss your toaster in the trash
Cameron Rivera

Jack Ross
>>>>muh screen tearing either a toaster or you feel for the xfce meme.
Ryan Flores
"cope" says the toddler throwing a tantrum over a version number lol, you're right, that really is the definition of cope.
Carson Hughes
Try out Kubuntu, OP. 18.04 will suit you well, compositor by default so no tearing, really familiar interface, and it's the most feature rich DE actually letting it compete with Windows whereas most don't have the same featureset at all.
heres the thing I don't mind moving onto another computer, as I've stated I've already have a new power house but I want to at least virtualize this PC so I can spin it up into my new pc I am using Disk2VHD to convert my my boot drive etc. but it wont output as a single file at this point i dont decomissioning the PC I just want a virtual copy of it to spin up and use my win7 shit. I would still like to use the machine psysically but if it has to come down to me virtualizing it and taking it out back, i will.
Install Gentoo you massively crybaby entitled Boomer piece of literal shit. What are you afraid of faggot? That windows 10 will tell M$ employees your Facebook activity about how you just mowed the lawn with some monster zero ultra?
Fucking christ
Lucas Ross
I got in on those Facebook Xeon E5-2680 v0 drops on ebay Two of those in a T620 and Debian Sid loaded 32 thread with real single core
Is nice
Kevin Miller
I dont use facebook, its not that I even care about W10 botnetting the shit out of my new pc, I just have certain programs, that will only work on W7 and data behind those programs that im trying to migrate. thats all. man you guys are rough.
Caleb Lee
What programs you got OP?
Are you the one virtualizing up above?
Chase Flores
For one Jow Forums isn't tech support and you're a retarded faggot. Off yourself, winshit 7 support was ending and you had plenty of time.
I would be virtualizing my W7 into this hardware in the previous picture which is my new rig.
I am also aware that w7 support is dying, I don't care about that I want a working instance of my computer for the last decade.
I am not trying to be like tech support plz guys just asking what my options are you've given me some great options to think about.
holy shit lets have another basedcanical keyboard thread instead. I was interested if people with my cpu socket were experiencing issues with video playback / what cpu's configs they were using.
Joshua Brooks
I had a dell once as my main pc a long time ago, put two x5365s in it. I wanted to fucking kill myself over just how fucking shit everything about it was.
Eli Young
Change your theme from classic to aero. Classic themes do not make use of dwm which is required to enable vsync on the desktop in windows 7.
Julian Ross
Isn't aero restricted to updated versions or something like that?
Caleb Gonzalez
Use Linux and rice it to look like Windows 7
Bentley Wright
You are asking tech support but I'll bite.
I'd like to let you know that I routinely virtualize real systems to do maintenance on non-trash hardware using QEMU-KVM, you can just give it the raw disk and run your machine without having to worry about copying a virtual image or file fragmentation, just pass it a real /dev/sda disk and it will work. Win 7, win 10 it doesn't care.
Your socket is as meaningless to the tearing as what kind of car you drive. Putting on that old 95 theme inhibits your compositor over the glassy aero making your screen tear.
Neat thing I've also found back when I used nvidia, there is no whitelist on linux inside of the installer. I didn't have to look up a specific win7 win10 driver it was just >Grab the very latest beta driver and install it
Nathan Barnes
enable aero you dumb fuck
Nathaniel Green
i just replaced w7 with xp and C: is now barelly 3GB (not 19) there is literally no reason to use 7
Adrian Morgan
based +ludditepilled
Henry Allen
that's just windows/nvidia, on a w7 laptop video driver[no updates] there is desktop tearing BUT on LUNIX i have TearFree AND wayland :^)
Brody Foster
Install ReactOS
Liam Lewis
you mean vsync
Carson White
40+ shitposts before someone drops the solution. Epic fail!
Nicholas Phillips
Is the CPU usage maxing out (at least for one core) when it has problems? It could also be a software issue - video decode should be done on the GPU these days if you're using a competent browser, and a 1050ti most certainly can handle 1080p YouTube.
Evan Myers
this thread has some really piss poor replies Here is how to diagnose this problem
1ST) Where are you noticing the screen tear, in scrolling web pages, videos, games, or just when the monitor is idle, where?
2ND) what drivers do you have installed. Have you tried deleting the drivers through the admin management panel and through the uninstall routine supplied with the driver, and then reinstalling the drivers with the latest version.?
3RD) Have you tried resetting the bios to defaults and resetting any overclocking in windows?
4TH) have you tried to examine the motherboard and graphics card for any rounded capacitor ends or for dust and other debris?
5TH) what happens if you underclock the GPU
6TH) are you getting unusual temperatures? have you tried using something that will adjust the fan speeds when the computer is under stress?
user these are very great questions 1. i only notice tearing when scroolling web pages, videos, and i dont play video games 2.I have the latest nvidia drivers installed 3. I have the latest bios installed for my mobo but can go back to original 4. i dont see an debris to my knowledge 5. my cpu is on stock clocking right now I've never over clocked or underclocked and not sure what I am getting myself into. same with GPU 6. temportures all seem fine.
Hunter Miller
What browser, and is hardware acceleration enabled?
Also note that the Classic and Windows 7 Basic themes don't vsync the desktop, so tearing is expected unless an application does vsync for itself. Try switching to the Aero theme, which forces vsync on all desktop drawing.
Jaxson Thomas
chrome, ive tried both accelerated and disabled for hardware, did apply aero and it seems smoother now might just be a placebo.
thanks anons
Ryder Rivera
go to chrome://flags and DISABLE "Smooth Scrolling" >After disabling "Smooth Scrolling," then turning it back on and enabling Hardware Acceleration, this issue has finally gone away.
Juan Miller
Enable Aero.
Samuel Hernandez
Heres the solution, in your web browser disable smooth scrolling
Great, because the option to disable smooth scrolling is the next option on the chopping block.
Michael Nguyen
No tearing to report here with an X5650. I really don't think the issue is your CPU. Sounds like a software issue. That said, grabbing a W3680 would be a great buy.
Samuel Rivera
A note on the Aero theme thing: I got out an old Athlon64 X2 250 system. It's a slow ass CPU, way worse than OP's, and uses integrated graphics. YouTube lags badly no matter the settings or theme. With classic theme, everything tears. With Aero, there is no tearing though video playback lags the same amount - at least it's vsynced though.
Jonathan King
Literally what use is a linux machine outside code and browsing?
Joseph Mitchell
Watching movies, writing, doing work, gaming.
Sebastian Myers
did you by chance disable all desktop effects in system settings/perfromance ?
Aaron Edwards
Upgrade to X99 and 6900X
Logan Miller
>gaming
Alexander Barnes
Your CPU has nothing to do with tearing rofl
Thomas James
doesn't windows classic theme cause tearing since it's not GPU accelerated? try turning on aero
Adam Reed
Most games are dependant on IPC and clock speed. You're either going to need to overclock your CPU or upgrade.
Ian Scott
this
Levi Long
>60hz
Cameron Stewart
Yes this
Daniel Johnson
Gaming on Linux works fine now that more games are being ported, and Valve has made a DirectX 11 and 12 compatibility layer for ones that aren't.
Hudson Turner
I think Microsoft is shitting windows 7 on purpose to force everyone to update. Last time I tried to run it on ryzen there was tearing even on aero.
Dylan Gutierrez
>Gaming on Linux works fine now gaming on linux is shit. I want to play AAA games not 2D Tux clones
Noah Allen
You clearly haven't tried lately, or didn't do the SteamPlay stuff.
Eli Ortiz
all you had to do was look at his screenshot to know aero was not enabled
