Help request Help needed reducing/eliminating screen tearing on Pascal GPU
When I have V-BLANK mode set to GLX, I have problems with waking up from Suspend.
Setting that to xpresent fixes suspend issue, but I am unsure about screen tearing. It kinda works and kinda doesn't really. Also, I have to set it to xpresent every single time I boot into MX, it's as if the OS thinks V-BLANK is off. I have tried Picom but it doesn't seem to help. Even worse I have suspend problems even with xpresent, when I am using Picom.
Then I see Picom can have Vsync toggled on. I haven't tested that extensively enough tho. I do see it reduces/eliminates screen tearing on my desktop, even with V-BLANK off, but does it do in games as well? Does it cap my FPS in games to 60 tho?

Open MX Tweak and look under the last tab for screen tearing options.
