ValhallaOutcast Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Using Retroarch for emulator happens on all cores My monitor is a 4K Asus, the HDMI port I use for my PC is only 30 so likely the root cause When I leave the resolution in Windows to full 4K I get bad screen tearing in retro arch, when I change windows resolution to 1080p it stops Is this normal should I always run windows in 1080p if the HDMI on monitor only supports 30hrtz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirion Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I guess 4k requires HEAVY machinery... Stick to 1080p or upgrade the PC. I'm complaining on 1080P... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of systems you are emulating are 60 so running them at 30 is a no go. Also i would check your HDMI cable and the port on your PC you are connecting it to, you can not use any bog standard HDMI cable for 4K 60, and the display output from the PC/GPU also has to support HDMI 2.0 for 4K 60. So you may only be seeing the 30 option as you dont have the correct HDMI cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
