Is there a way to fix screen tearing in borderless window mode?

Hey All, I run an online casino games wiki / forum and one of the users there is wondering if there’s a way to remove screen tearing when playing online casino games in borderless window mode? Does anyone have any experience with this who could help? Any suggestions for developers or players who want to minimize screen tearing without going into full screen mode?

If screen tearing is an issue in borderless window mode, here are some possible solutions: 1. Enable_borderless window mode in game settings - many games work better in borderless window. 2. Look for V-Sync / Tearing control in video settings and enable V-sync if possible. Otherwise look for G-Sync (NVidia) or FreeSync (AMD) if you have a compatible monitor. 3. If you use a browser, install a native app or use a site like the HTML5 casino I mentioned earlier. 4. As a developer or user, play around with window resizing tricks (i.e. Maximize, Alt + Tab, etc.) until the game decides to do the right thing. 5. As a forum admin, create a sticky post that answers common questions. Good luck!

screen tearing in borderless window mode sucks, particularly if the game is running at a different refresh rate. You should try VSync in-game or in your graphics card settings; it locks the game’s refresh rate to that of your monitor to eliminate tearing. Alternatively, you could use a utility such as Borderless Gaming to simulate full-screen mode. Otherwise, just adjust your game’s resolution to that of your display. Hopefully, that will resolve your issue!

Borderless window mode will definitely create screen tearing (it does not refresh rates of your monitor). You may try to use “Borderless Windowed Fix” programs like G-Sync or FreeSync (if you have them), go into full screen mode within a window in your browser and check if there are any available options to change the game resolution or disable Vertical Sync. Check out the casino game FAQ for suggestions as well.
