Can VSync cause screen tearing in casino games?

VSync should eliminate screen tearing, right? Well, yes... and no. You may experience screen tearing while playing slot machines or other casino games. Here's why: First, screen tearing typically occurs when your graphics card can't produce enough frames to match the refresh rate of your display. VSync can't solve this problem if you already have frame drops or lagging frames. So screen-tearing will still appear in between those frames. Secondly, some games, such as online or mobile casino games, don't support VSync in the same way as desktop games. Screen tearing in a casino game is most likely caused by other issues like low performance or slow refresh rates. To resolve this, try adjusting your game quality settings or reloading the game in your browser. If the issue persists, try disabling VSync and then re-enabling it later on. If that fails, consult your system's graphics card settings or search for a solution within the game itself.

VSync is supposed to eliminate screen tearing by matching your GPU framerate to your monitor’s refresh rate. However, it can also introduce noticeable latency, or even tearing-like effects when high-speed user interface elements are moving around (e. g. in a gambling game with rapidly animated graphics or spinning reels). Tearing can also occur if your monitor’s refresh rate is very different from your game’s framerate, or if your GPU is underperforming. And if VSync is partially broken or disabled, it won’t do its job. Toggle VSync on and off and see if that changes anything. If you have access to G-Sync or FreeSync, enabling them may help.

This is what VSync is supposed to prevent – by ensuring that the frame rate matches the refresh rate. But sometimes VSync fails to do its job – for example in online casino games like roulette or slots when there’s a slight delay between frames. This isn’t necessarily a case of VSync failure; it could be an issue with the Internet connection or graphics processing unit. When screen tearing occurs regularly, you may want to tweak VSync settings or take steps to improve PC efficiency.
