New beta and not a single comment? 😕 Anyways, I tried it for a couple of days on my RTX4090. The screentearing is still an issue. Slightly worse than 2.0.24.1 I belive, but it could also just be random luck. However (BIG however) the reprojection issue is now back in 120hz. Tried Bigscreen and got a constant ~25% reprojection, but not a single framedrop. Switched to 90hz, and the framedrop is gone again. Just like pre 2.0.24.1. Could I PLEASE please have access to install 2.0.24.1 again @C.T. ?  That beta worked much much better on RTX4090.

Well, I would be more than happy to give it a try. Should be very quick to test.

Thank you for letting me test. Unfortunately(?) you were right. The issue existed in 2.1.24.1 as well 😞 Guess I had not tested BigScreen in 120hz that much. When moving, especially your hands, you get reprojection 20%-ish giving "double vision" and slight stutter. However in 90hz there is no such issue. Oh well. At least I tried 🙂
