video still tear in fullscreen with freesync on, near top screen with normal playback speed multiple tear spot on high playback speed.

why are you enabling freesync with a video? video fps is prolly outside the fs range

To enable free-sync in specific apps, first you need to enable it the general toggle in the screen panel of the Radeon Settings. And yes, this causes tearing on media player applications like MPC-HC and every other player based on it (eg:MPC-BE), even if the free-sync setting is toggle off in the specific application profile. So yeas, he is complaining because it is really annoying toggle every time you want to watch a video the general screen free-sync settings, because of this damn annoying bug (and that's not the first AMD re-introduced this bug).

Ahh, got it. The fact the per-app profile doesn't apply would be very annoying. I do this with NVCP for MPC-BE.

My freesync never turns on for video. What are you watching video with?

It is NOT enable. Freesync is not needed at all on EVR&DirectShow players, but enabling the general setting (which is the default settings when using a freesync monitor), which does NOT turn into forcing free-sync in every application (improtant!), trigger a driver bug with some EVR video players, causing tearing on EVR borderless mode. Creating ad-hoc profiles for those players, where you assure that free-sync is disabled on that specific application, does not solve the issue which was re-introduced with Windows 10 version 1903 after 2 years... So yes, it's a driver bug, freesync general setting is just a trigger. The only two mitigation are: completely turning off free-sync support (in the screen panel of the radeon settings or in the monitor OSD) or (if allowed by the player) using a different API for fullscreen presentation (like Direct3D11) which limit a lot the capabilities of the players. Please note this bug is not present in Windows 10 version 1809 and previous versions and turn on "disable full-screen optimisations" in the executable properties does not fix anything.

This video tearing is very annoying in mpc hc and in potplayer.

I hope to god this fixes the game crashes, fingers crossed. :P I also hope i can use MSI Afterburner now.

Nice to see more VLK extensions, wonder if Wolfenstein Youngblood uses any of these and I see the Vulkan runtime/loader is still using 1.1.106.0 And profile wise well there's HighPerfGPU for Gears of War 5 and Wolfenstein Youngblood and that's about it. (Prefer dedicated GPU over integrated if the system has this.) And for the INF this got added to various parts. ati2mtag_ProxySettings_DX10_PXAA_common In addition to the existing two DX10 ones from before. ati2mtag_ProxySettings_DX10 ati2mtag_ProxySettings_DX10_PXAA I assume it's shared D3D10+ DXGI something but not really sure. EDIT: Oh and the known issues and the footnote for testing from AMD's driver page.

Known Issues Some system configurations may experience green color corruption after install of Radeon Software when running Windows® 10 May 2019 update. Stutter may be experienced when Radeon FreeSync is enabled on 240hz refresh displays with Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products. Radeon Performance Metrics may report incorrect VRAM utilization. AMD Radeon VII may experience elevated memory clocks at idle or on desktop. Radeon Overlay may intermittently fail to appear when toggled in game. Audio for clips captured by Radeon ReLive may be corrupted or garbled when desktop recording is enabled. Radeon RX 5700 Series Graphics may experience a black screen during uninstall on Windows®7 system configurations. A work around is to perform uninstall in safe mode. Recording clips with Radeon ReLive may result in blank clips on Radeon RX 5700 Series Graphics with Windows®7 system configurations. Enabling Enhanced Sync may cause game, application or system crashes on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products. Footnotes RS-304 - Testing conducted by AMD Performance Labs as of July 24th, 2019 on the 8GB Radeon™ RX 5700, using a test system comprising of Intel i7 9700K CPU (3.6 GHz), 16GB DDR4-3200MHz memory, and Windows 10x64 with Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.7.2. and 19.7.3. PC manufacturers may vary configurations, yielding different results. With Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.7.2, running Wolfenstein: Youngblood (Vulkan) on the “Mein Leben” preset scored 55.6 FPS (average of three runs) whereas Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.7.3, running Wolfenstein: Youngblood (Vulkan) on the “Mein Leben” preset scored 62.7 FPS (average of three runs) for a total of 13% uplift in performance driver over driver . Performance may vary based on use of latest drivers.

And this was from 19.7.2

Known Issues AMD Log Utility Driver may intermittently fail to install on Windows®7 system configurations. Radeon Overlay may intermittently fail to appear when toggled in game. Audio for clips captured by Radeon ReLive may be corrupted or garbled when desktop recording is enabled. Minor stuttering may occur when playing Fortnite™ during the first few minutes of gameplay on AMD Radeon RX 5700 Series Graphics. Radeon RX 5700 Series Graphics may experience a black screen during uninstall on Windows®7 system configurations. A work around is to perform uninstall in safe mode. Recording clips with Radeon ReLive may result in blank clips on Radeon RX 5700 Series Graphics with Windows®7 system configurations. League of Legends™ may fail to launch on Radeon RX 5700 Series Graphics with Windows®7 system configurations.

So these are new entries here. Some system configurations may experience green color corruption after install of Radeon Software when running Windows® 10 May 2019 update. Stutter may be experienced when Radeon FreeSync is enabled on 240hz refresh displays with Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products. Radeon Performance Metrics may report incorrect VRAM utilization. AMD Radeon VII may experience elevated memory clocks at idle or on desktop. Enabling Enhanced Sync may cause game, application or system crashes on Radeon RX 5700 series graphics products. (The issues themselves could still exist in earlier drivers like the green screen problem but a acknowledgement is a good first step for AMD fixing the issue.)

I actually do not get any green/pink/red whatever color during driver install anymore 🙂

Ugrade or clean install?

I get this Freesync video tearing even with Nvidia GPU (GTX 1070). I assume the problem is related to Windows 1903.

Krteq:

Tried both, just to be sure it's not happening.

Just installed 18.12.1.1 as heibay said and I didn’t notice any tearing. At same time, even with driver that old, weird colors are also here, why MS or MS with AMD doesn’t do anything I don’t know...

media player applications like MPC-HC and every other player based on it

Easy fix. Install Madvr. Have never had a problem with screen tearing. Plus also have the advantage of better upscaling.

Clean installed this hopeless driver: 1) slight motion judder when gaming 2) Browsing Radeon Settings somewhat laggy 3) still elevated idle clocks especially memory combined with unexplained GPU activity That's it folks - back to 19.4.3 for me! https://imgur.com/PhFjQR7

It's your Monitor. Period. I rock a 1440p 165hz screen and I have NEVER seen tearing in ANY video on ANY program. Ever. Before this on the 144hz 1080p screen I had too, same thing. No issues. I think some of you buys really need to invest in a new display for yourselves.

Issues with the 5700 eh? That sucks dude. Hopefully this fixes them.

Installed, so far is OK. Clean Install was used. Played so far: MtG Arena Rage 2 BFV

My crashes are fixed, MSI Afterburner running with overlay. I'm a happy gamer. 😀 Last night i had Wattman overlay running and RiS enabled but i still crashed in BFV. After disabling both it seems to be fixed, it's probably tied to the same problem as with Enhanced Vsync crashes on RX 5700 cards.

Askmyteapot:

That's not a fix, that's another workaround. MadVR also need an insane GPU power compared to LAV filters, which means no more zero RPM fans when watching a movie... And I mostly watch videos that do not need to be upscaled.

Still no Netflix in HDR and/or 4K with these. What a surprise... At least my videoplayback is tearfree...
