Overall File tearing and artifacts?

[samsc]

Unfortunately 3.31 is still tearing. I just gave it a major workout on 10.3.9 and it still tears.

Haven't tried 10.3.3 + 3.31 yet but 3.3 is stable on 10.3.3.

My systems use dedicated OS X drives which I reformat on a regular basis and I am pretty religious about only having a basic install on these. I use external SATA RAIDS and have a second disk in the machine which I use to boot from if I need to edit onsite or use the G5 for something els.

there are different kinds of tearing....one of them is called vsync off and is a feature used by graphics cards manufactureres so that they can get the headline frame rate up in games applications.

if you have setup the ati displays control panel to use a custom application profile. then you need to have 'vertical sync' set to ON.

I have my machines set exactly as specified here with vertical sync set to on.

I have experimented with turning it off but of course everything turns to crap

try 10.4.4 on a clean drive.

dont install any ati extensions, or control panels.

one of the problems related to this went away around 10.4.3.
