I've tried distros like Mint C., Mint M., and now I am trying Ubuntu Gnome... I also have problem with screen tearing, for example when I move windows, or watching tearing test on youtube, or scrolling text...

My laptop is asus n56vj, and here is configuration: enter image description here

Can you tell me which nvidia drivers sould I use? NVIDIA binary driver or x.org X nouveau driver? I've tried both with same tearing.

  • You don't have any NVIDIA drivers, so you it will not work in your laptop. Try [this](https://askubuntu.com/questions/667466/screen-tearing-in-ubuntu-with-nvidia-intel-graphics/668590#668590) – Redbob Oct 02 '17 at 18:44
  • yes I do ... i do not know why ubuntu don't detect it. :/ – Denis Stephanov Oct 02 '17 at 18:48
  • What to detect? NVIDIA? Your laptop has no NVIDIA driver, it's Intel. Go to update-manager, Additional drivers tab, look if there is proprietary drivers for your laptop. – Redbob Oct 02 '17 at 18:52
  • sorry I bad read your answer .. in driver manager I have this options: 1. nvidia binary driver (375 - proprietary, tested) 2. nvidia legacy binary driver 3. nvidia binary driver 4. x org x server - nouveau ... which I should use ? – Denis Stephanov Oct 02 '17 at 18:55
  • Please output `lshw -c Video` at your question (not comments). – Redbob Oct 02 '17 at 18:55
  • ok, I updated question and also my last answer, pls check it, thanks – Denis Stephanov Oct 02 '17 at 18:59
  • You have NVIDIA/Intel integrated graphics. Did you follow solution at link I attached at my first comment? – Redbob Oct 02 '17 at 19:06
  • Yes , I made this file 20-intel.conf with required code and reboot. But they wrote it will work only with bumblebee. Is any driver of my options fine for this? – Denis Stephanov Oct 02 '17 at 19:20
  • Your Intel driver is i915, it's compatible to applied solution. Did it worked? – Redbob Oct 02 '17 at 19:28
  • Yes tearing stopped I guess, but also I need install nvidia driver, but I don't know which one. – Denis Stephanov Oct 02 '17 at 19:31
  • Try following the order you post. If none of these works, try nouveau. – Redbob Oct 02 '17 at 19:45
