7 years ago Seeing a similar thing in Solus 2017.04.18.0 64-bit. You can see the (very slight) difference if you zoom in on your phone. I'd describe it almost like it's in a heat-wave or you're just tripping. Honestly the effect isn't that bad but it's certainly interesting.
Note: GPU = NVIDIA GTX 1070, Driver = nvidia-glx-driver-common (384.59), Kernel = 4.12.5-7
Operating System: Arch Budgie version: v10.3.1-414-g7561deb
The issue encountered In HTML5 content that's significantly below 60fps, I experience fairly major screen tearing that makes said content quite difficult to view. It has improved since I updated. In content around or above 60fps (even 30 now) it's fine.
Aside from framerate the tearing seems most prevalent when there is a large amount of change in the image - i.e. movement, so for example during a camera pan. I have attached a particularly egregrious example of a GIF I found on Imgur that is almost totally distorted.
Here is the GIF in question: http://imgur.com/6eVARsf and here is what I see it as: https://gfycat.com/ExemplaryAcidicAsiandamselfly
So, this isn't a particularly well-recorded GIF, but by viewing it on my phone I can see what it's supposed to look like. It's true that there's a fair amount of 'ghosting' due to a low framerate, but what you should pay attention to is these streaks that cut horizontally and give a sort of 'raster' effect. It's quite hard to describe, and in hindsight the example isn't the best.
Steps to reproduce the issue Watch HTML5 content which is below 30fps
