Hi guys,
I have a MSI GS 60 laptop. Its got 16GB ram, 2x 256GB m2 SSD in Raid 0, 1TB HDD, I7 4270HQ, GTX 970m 3GB etc. I benchmarked it with Heaven and the result was 74.1 FPS. I am comparing this to another laptop (Asus 16GB ram, 250gb m2 ssd, 1tb, i5 7300, GTX 1050 4GB which scored 55.9 FPS.)
I then played Wildlands and the Asus is very smooth. No issues at all on med/high detail. The MSI has a good FPS of around 45-55 on Med and 40-45 on high (which is higher than the Asus) and the quality of detail is just nicer on the MSI screen. Problem is on the MSI I'm getting a lot of tearing issues. I started playing with the settings and this is the result:
Full Screen - VSync disabled - FPS around 50 - A lot of screen tearing
Full Screen - VSync Enabled - FPS around 50 - Feels a bit slow’ish
Bordered - VSync can’t enable - FPS also around 50 - Can’t play. Tearing is insane
Window Mode - Vsync can’t enable - Game plays perfect. Only issue is there’s a window around the game.
So for some reason Window mode works 100%. Problem is I don't want to play like that. I prefer to play in Bordered mode but that's not possible AT ALL. Even Full screen with VSync enabled is "playable" but its still a bit jerking moving left/right (I think this might be because VSync is enabled but if I disable it it causes tearing.) Surely this is a setting somewhere that I can change?
I tried checking GSync but the display is shown as connected to the Intel chipset so the option for GSync isn't visible. What else can I try?
