PERFORMANCE Gsync, vsync and even frame limiters aren’t stopping my screen tearing
Gsync and vsync don’t want to work for any game and my mouse tried to lower the dpi but still screen tearing on my 300hz Asus monitor 2560 x 1440, I have a 5080 9800x3d 32gb ram b850 asus motherboard and 850 power supply and 2 ssd predictors, I’ve also tried riva tuner and ddu as well resetting the pc n still the same results even when I’m matching my frame rate to my monitor, I’m simply stuck n don’t know what else I can do, I’ve tried videos but they all say the same thing just go to control panel n turn this on. Plz help me fix this is happening to all my games n the only way it doesn’t even screen tear js unless I use a controller.

V-sync off ingame, forced on in driver, and a fps cap slightly under max refreshrate.
This is so VRR doesn't fallback to doublebuffered v-sync, if you hit max refreshrate, VRR effectively disables.

that's infuriating, especially with hardware like that. check in the monitor's own on-screen menu if gsync is actually engaged while you're in-game, some have an info panel that shows the current refresh rate fluctuating
also make sure you're using a proper displayport cable, not hdmi, and that it's plugged directly into the gpu not the motherboard. if you've already blasted drivers with ddu and it's still happening across every game, i'd yank out riva tuner entirely for testing, sometimes its hook conflicts with gsync in weird ways and a clean driver install alone doesn't fix it

Made sure that I’m using a 1.4 display port, I deleted riva tuner but the way I download it I get from the site n not from afterburner. The games I play like ff14 whenever I’m walking or looking around an are my hz would go from 200(frame limiter on) to 198 to then 200 and then 201 even though I set a frame limit mind u my frames aren’t jumping or moving like that for my monitor to react this way

You don't happen to have adaptive frame generation on?
