    Crossfire sync problem

    Hello

    thank you for all the responses.

    I enable vsync in the advanced tab of ccc but it doesn't help.

    It's happening now in mass effect 2 which is unreal but it also happens in civilization 4 and pirates(an old game).

    I don't think it's my display or a cable because when I don't enable crossfire I never have the problem.

    My next step is to change the cards around to see if it's my linked card that's the problem.

    Qubit is correct it looks like a video sync problem. Like when the traking is of on a VCR.

    Keep the suggestions coming.

    Why Does OneDrive Keep Trying To Backup My Desktop And How Do I Stop It?

    Hi, my name is Kelly, and I'm an independent consultant and I'm here to help.

    OneDrive is a cloud-based storage service provided by Microsoft that automatically backs up files and folders to the cloud. It is possible that OneDrive is attempting to back up your desktop files because the "Desktop" folder is included in the list of folders that are being synced by default.

    To disable the backup of your Desktop folder, you can follow these steps:

    Open OneDrive on your computer and click on the "Settings" icon in the taskbar.

    Click on the "Backup" tab.

    Under "Folders to back up," click on "Manage backup."

    Deselect the checkbox next to "Desktop."

    Click "OK" to save your changes.

    This should stop OneDrive from attempting to back up your Desktop folder. If you want to disable OneDrive entirely, you can also follow these steps:

    Right-click on the OneDrive icon in the taskbar.

    Select "Settings."

    Click on the "Account" tab.

    Click "Unlink this PC."

    This will unlink your computer from OneDrive and disable the syncing of your files and folders.
