    Hi

    Ive just installed Pro Evolution Soccer 6 on my Acer 5920 (nvidia 8600gt, core 2 duo t7300...)

    I have no apps in the back and everything defragged. I play at 56 pfs average, but get constant and abusive tearing and constang shuttering.

    Coud it be a driver issue? which driver should i download if im not looking forward to overclocking?

    thanks ;)

    The 163.44 beta drivers with the modded inf seem to work best for me provided you have no need to OC.

    Tearing isn't caused by drivers. It occurs when the graphics display more frames than the refresh rate of the computer. Turn on Vsync, which will limit your FPS, but eliminate tearing.

    PES6 hasnt got the V-sync option, but even when i activate it from the nVidia pannel, the Tearing is excessive.

    I had a pentium 4 laptop and i didnt get this tearing!!

    the screen was the same as this one, one laptop 60mhz screen! :mad:

    please help ;)

    Triple buffering perhaps? If PES6 isn't OpenGL, use Rivatuner to enable the Direct3D Overrider to enable triple buffering in Direct3D games.
