Has anyone else encountered this issue? So far, it seems like I’m the only one having it. My GPU is a GUNNIR B580 TRI. After updating to driver version 8801, enabling Frame Generation in games while FreeSync is enabled on my monitor causes severe multi-segment screen tearing. I also tried enabling VSync in-game, but it had no effect.

When I disable FreeSync on the monitor, the tearing improves significantly, although there is still some slight tearing during fast camera movements.

After disabling FreeSync, I also tested the GPU driver control panel settings:

- “Enable VSync”

- “Disable VSync”

- “Smart VSync”

These settings cause the severe tearing issue to return again. Only “Smooth Sync” and “Application Controlled” do not produce major problems.

I already used DDU to completely uninstall and reinstall driver 8801, but the issue still could not be resolved, so I had no choice but to roll back to driver 8737.

I noticed that this driver update also updated the XeSS Frame Generation files, so I’m wondering if this update may have introduced a conflict with anti-tearing technologies like FreeSync/VSync.

I've been having this persistent issue lately with the 8735 driver. Whenever I'm playing most games, if I hit the Win key to open another app or if another window overlays the game, the frame rate tanks to single digits. It only returns to normal once I refocus the game window to full screen. Is anyone else experiencing this?

​I'm not sure if I should update to 8737 to fix it. I've been browsing some threads where people reported major issues after updating to 8737—some even said a rollback didn't help. How has your experience been with the 8737 driver?
