When the graphics engine and the monitor are not in rhythm, screen ripping, a type of graphics deformation, happens. Since the top and bottom sections are out of rhythm, it results in a horizontal line appearing during video viewing or game play.

It's possible that the GPU won't be able to match the frame rate of the display when it's working under a lot of strain. As a result, a portion of the screen is redrew in one frame while the remaining portion is redrew in a different frame. A obvious vertical line will be visible on the screen after several frames of this behavior.

Screen splitting can be avoided or fixed in a number of methods.

• Reduce the movie or game's quality to reduce the strain on your Computer.
• The impacted application's "hardware acceleration" setting should be enabled. For instance, this option has a button in Google Chrome. Enhancing video playing in the online browser may be possible by turning on device processing.
• The "vertical sync" or "vsync" choice should be enabled. This feature is available in some video games especially to prevent screen breaking. In order to match the refresh rate of your display, it might, however, cut down the picture rate.
• Activate "triple buffering" if the program supports it. By doing this, it is made guaranteed that the whole frame is sent to the last cache before being sent to the monitor.
• Purchase a new video device that has the ability to support the movies and games you enjoy on your computer.
