How to fix intense display tearing?
(sh.itjust.works)
I have been getting monitor tearing time to time, even with windows. It wasn't occurring often, and I could fix it by turning the monitor off and on, so I have been sleeping on it.
A few days ago, it began tearing like crazy, and it happens after turning the monitor on for a few minutes. It came to the point where the computer is nearly unusable, so I want to solve the issue once and for all.
How do I go with resolving a monitor tearing issue? Or, is it the faulty monitor? The issue also happens on Windows, after all..
~~Which distro? Switch to Wayland, I've only experienced screen tearing with Xorg~~. Edit, it's probably your hardware.
Dude this much tearing is not an xorg issue
Yeah, I would at least try a different distro before tossing the GPU
It might be the cable itself, or a problem with the monitor.
