Hey, has anyone else run into weird graphical tearing in Chrome lately? It’s only happening for me on one specific site that uses a lot of canvas animations, and I can’t tell if it’s my drivers, a flag I changed, or something on their end. The whole thing just looks slightly shredded for a second when I scroll.
Yeah that tearing while scrolling on a canvas heavy page messes with the vibe. A quick shredded stripe that vanishes after a blink.
From a technical angle tearing can happen when the browser misaligns redraws as many elements move so the canvas gets one frame late. The result is a small mismatch that shows up as tearing.
Have you tried turning off hardware acceleration to see if tearing changes?
Perhaps the issue is not a broken driver but how that site schedules redraws during scroll and you are seeing a cadence artifact rather than a real tearing fault.
One more angle is to consider that tearing could be a timing glitch not a driver fault but a byproduct of how the site pushes updates to the canvas as you move.
Another angle is to test with a different browser and see if the same tearing shows up that would at least tell you if it is Chrome specific.
