I’ve got a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro and I use an external monitor. I’m experiencing horizontal screen tearing when I scroll down/up and when I watch movies or youtube videos. This does not happen when I use the laptop’s screen. The external monitor is connected to the HDMI port.
System info:
AMD Ryzen 7 5800H with Radeon Graphics
NVIDIA RTX 3070 with Nvidia 470
Kernel 5.11.0-34-generic #36~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 27 08:06:32 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I’ve got my system set to Nvidia Performance mode. If I set Power saving mode the monitor is not detected. If I set Nvidia On Demand, graphical performance on the external monitor slows to a crawl.
I’m looking for a solution for eliminating the screen tearing on the external monitor. It doesn’t matter if that solution switches off the Nvidia graphics card or not.
Thanks
