At times, a heavy load on your graphic card can often lead to screen tearing. In simple words, screen tearing occurs when the video feed to your computer is not going along with your display’s refresh rate. As a result, we get to see distorted graphics. Since the GPU (Graphic Card) is under heavy pressure, it cannot refresh properly. There are ways in which you can get this issue fixed. For Nvidia GPU users, these methods are very effective for solving the Screen Tearing Issues.
