Laptops with dedicated GPUs that do not have MUX switches for a direct dGPU<->Display connection can have problems with hiding the tearline.
<br>
While it may be impossible to hide it completely, latency benefits are still applicable.
</p>
<p>
Some monitors have too small vertical blanking, so it's possible to not fully hide the tearing without timing modifications -
if you wish to pursue this topic, create a custom resolution with increased <b>Vertical Blanking</b> in your driver or with
