Penumbra screen tearing.

When I bought this game during the humble bundle 2 sale everything was running great. So today I thought that I should continue you the game, but now I'm experiencing screen tearing which makes the game unplayable for me. Any suggestion?

Make sure you have enabled vertical sync (vsync)

Ok well it's not a screen tearing issue... when ever I make a sudden movement the FPS drops, but if I stand still the FPS is 60... but if I start making sudden turns the FPS drops down to 20. Also when I ever I try to update my drivers my screen gets funky Tongue .

Turn off motion blur in the game's graphics options.

Tried that too. Undecided. I've even tried turning all the grapics on low and turning off raptr.

RE: Penumbra screen tearing.

Do you have SLI? Or some other dual GPU thing. I had a lot of issues with artifacting and screen tearing when I played the game with both GPUs enabled.
