Quoting: Glog78Liam, one question?

why don't you use the following in your <xorg>.conf ?
Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { FroceFullCompositionPipeline = On } "

It requires you to not have to f-about with any xorg files. It means you can store it on a partition that doesn't get wiped between installs and have it right where you need it.

That, plus, as written in the article you need to re-do it when games change your resolution. Putting it in xorg will not solve that.

Hmm the above should automatically aply the ForceFullCompostionPipeline=On to any resolution which your xorg knows about. Strange overall ... maybe someone should describe and report that "need to reenabled" issue to nvidia (sounds to me like a bug).

And i was just curious overall.

I did some testing using "nvidia-auto-select", the problem is again with games that change your desktop resolution. It's the same issue, ForceFullCompostionPipeline reverts to off.

Quoting: ZeloxSadly it didnt work for me. But I use Opensource drivers, could be the reason maybe?

As mentioned in the article, this is for the Proprietary driver.

Update:

A nice side-effect of the script: Games like RunningWithRifles has poor multi-monitor support, it actually turns off my main monitor. Hitting the shortcut I set for the script will bring that monitor back, and still allow me to play the game.

Quoting: gqmeloUnfortunately for owners of laptops with PRIME (like me), there is yet no vsync support at all:

Have you tried this script to see if it helps at all?

Quoting: GuestI’ve been happy with Compton for several years. ForceCompositionPipeline works too but Xfwm’s compositor is not as pretty or fast as Compton and the performance gain is minimal.

Well the advantage to this is you don't need to switch compositor, which many probably aren't comfortable with :)

Quoting: Avehicle7887Will this also act as an fps limiter depending on the monitor's refresh rate too? (60FPS in my case). If yes, that would be wonderful.

Thanks for sharing Liam, I'll try this with a few games where tearing is incredibly noticeable.

No, this does not limit the FPS.

I've just tested Shadowrun Returns after adding this script to my startup list and the tearing has gone poof. Another issue out of the way :-)

Fantastic, really pleased it helped.

The good thing about having it as a simple script, is you can re-run it any time tearing returns. Poof, gone again! :)

Quoting: LinasPretty badass play, Liam. That episode where you took all of those guys down at the ladder was sweet. :)

The best part is at the end, when I'm driving a Jeep and I force someone to jump the rail into the water :D

Cracking good game it is.

Quoting: Guest{ ForceFullCompositionPipeline = On } that command right there is key for the tearing to stop,it works for me too,this will stop screen tearing.

Indeed, but it gets disabled any time a game or anything using fullscreen changes your resolution (surprisingly a lot).
