Thanks Captian Obvious
If it’s so obvious, why the question then? Attitude like that, you’ll even less likely get a response.
Well he does have the distinction of creating the only locked thread in the forum… so, yeah.
I can confirm the “line” (like tearing when image changes abruptly) when not on “performance” power setting using mplayer using -vo xv. Workaround is to use -vo vdpau which results in no lines.
GTX 650
I thought vdpau is affected too. Please explain how to avoid this.
Try to disable Vsync on Compiz and also adaptive sync .
Disabling Vsync on Compiz alone didn’t improve.
How do I disable adaptive sync? i haven’t found it in nvidia-settings?
P.S: just to mention: I have only PCIe Generation 1, so max. Link Speed is 2,5 GT/s - so the effect may differ a bit for me.
Okay rusty
If you are using 32 dpth , it may occure some grphic Problems . i had some problem with 30 dpth but with 24 everything works .
I don’t have 32 depth I use 24 depth. Sync to Vblank and FXAA are disabled.
For anybody who’s feeling abnormally ambitious, you might want to try a combination of beta driver 313.09 and the experimental Compiz package (PPAs here: [url]https://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2012/12/13/experimental-ppa-with-performance-improvements/[/url]) and see if it resolves the tearing problem. But I would only try it if you know how to roll back to stable versions.
Hopefully releases of each will be pushed out soon.
This doesn’t have anything to do with compiz. I’ll try the beta driver later.
What’s the point of trying the beta driver? The experimental compiz branch is the only compositor I know of that has implemented the new GLX extension so far.
Don’t want to break any further analysis that may be useful…
BUT
just as mentioned before…
I had exactly the same environment before (Opensuse 11.4, 310.x or 304.x driver etc.) except now I bought a 660Ti some weeks ago - just changed from a 460 GTX. With the 460 GTX all was FINE, nothing of these effects has shown.
So I doubt a little bit it may be related to software like Compiz.
My Guts Feeling is just Kepler architecture is not smoothly integrated into current drivers. See also my other thread I had some issues with powermizer-Level and much more data not displayed correctly.
Btw 313.09 does not change anything and all KDE + Compiz has not been updated since i had the 460 GTX
seems like youtube low quality videos are not affected by this bug or whatever it is.
Ok, it’s well past holidays now, perhaps we can have some rep drop in?
Yes that would really be of help.
Tried every combination to find a workaround (composite on/off vsync on/off, different, powermizer level etc.) nothing helped. Just have to say that maybe i was wrong it also shows with VDPAU, i wasn’t able to reproduce it with it again.
can you guys tell what kind of lcd you have and what cables you use ?
I have an Acer LCD monitor connected via DVI and a Sony TV connected using HDMI.
Eizo lcd FlexScan S2433WFS via DVI-D normal lentgh cable
I’ve got LG W2452 with a single link dvi-d
The reason I was asking about LCD and connection is that in my NVIDIA Settings DFP-3 Tab shows Connection Link – Dual .
I know for sure my cable is a single dvi-d link. I wonder if changing it to dvi-d dual will improve the situation.
