Screen Tearing - FIX - Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon

Post by DMT »

Greetings penguins,

I was able to fix my Screen Tearing dilemma, by doing this:

FIRST
Go to Nvidia Settings, PRIME Profiles
Select Intel (Power Saving Mode) - enter password
Logout, so that the change may take effect, and then Login

SECOND
Go to Nvidia Settings, PRIME Profiles
Select NVIDIA (Performance Mode) - enter password
Logout, so that the change may take effect, and then Login

After doing these two thing, I have no screen tearing . . . Anywhere
