Screen tearing in CS:GO? No worries! First, try enabling VSync in your game settings or graphics card control panel to match your monitor's refresh rate with the game's framerate. If VSync causes input lag for you, try enabling G-Sync (Nvidia) or FreeSync (AMD) if your monitor supports it. These technologies provide a smoother experience without the input lag associated with VSync. Lastly, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date, as outdated drivers can often lead to performance issues including screen tearing.

Turn on VSync in your game settings. It might add a bit of input lag, but it usually fixes screen tearing issues.

VSync? No way, it adds too much input lag. Just cap your FPS to match your monitor's refresh rate. Much smoother experience without the lag.
