Screen Tearing

[sputnik_tr_02]

For screen tearing with Nvidia, try to create a file in /etc/profile.d/ with following content:

Code:

export KWIN_TRIPLE_BUFFER=1

Let the file name be for example kwin_triple_buffer.sh

When you restart, the KWin triple buffer should be turned on explicitly and screen tearing should disappear.

Also be sure to check System Settings->Workspace behavior->Compositor-> set Tearing prevention to Full screen repaints.

Thanks for the advice. I will try that and report back. Yesterday I installed Bumblebee and gave it a shot but it is too problematic. Most of the games I tried either didn't work or performed really bad. You basically need to search the web for every single game to find a fix or workaround. Then I realized using prime profiles is less trouble, yes you need to log out and log back in to switch video cards but as I said it's a better option. Today I am planning to fresh install Maui and will try your advice.
