Pretty shitty till now <| sep |> 1 CCP WHY YOU DO THIS ? !!!!!!<| sep |> Hey , I ' m a UK based fairly new Level 70 TR iLvl 2 k you sound like the kind of guild I ' m after , if you ' re still recruiting ? PSN Theonead <| sep |> Marxin ajatus oli se , ett jossain vaiheessa tyvenluokka huomaa miten heill ei ole samaa kuin rikkaillaIhan ensimminen lause . <| sep |> Thus the ' modern ' X 11 compositing desktops like Plasma or Gnome simply reduce the amount of tearing you are likely to see , but are not able to eliminate it completely . This is why it usually only is obvious when playing games or watching videos full screen on these types of desktops . As far as I know , you can eliminate X . org tearing completely by simply using an OpenGL compositor and letting it take care of flipping buffers only during vsync . The applications get no chance of getting anything on the display in the middle of a frame . All this won ' t of course work if there are graphics drivers that have a broken vsync for OpenGL . But that ' s pretty rare .
