The Lenovo ThinkBook 16 Gen 6 AMD displays a horizontal tear line across the screen during video playback or while gaming. The AMD Ryzen 7 7730U with Radeon 780M graphics shows tearing when the GPU frame rate is not synchronised with the display. FreeSync and VSync configuration resolve this.
Enable AMD FreeSync in Adrenalin
Right-click desktop → AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition → Gaming → Display → AMD FreeSync → toggle to On. FreeSync dynamically adjusts the display refresh rate to match the GPU frame rate, preventing tearing without the input lag of VSync.
Enable VSync in Game Settings
In the game or app displaying the tearing, open Video or Graphics settings and enable Vertical Sync (VSync) or Vertical Refresh. VSync caps the frame rate at the display refresh rate, preventing frames from being drawn faster than the display can show them.
Update AMD Radeon Driver
Download the AMD Radeon driver from Lenovo Support for ThinkBook 16 Gen 6. Install and restart. An updated AMD driver includes FreeSync timing profile updates for the ThinkBook 16 Gen 6 display and often resolves tearing even without enabling FreeSync explicitly.
Check BIOS for FreeSync Setting
Restart → F2 to enter BIOS → look for a Display or Graphics section. On some ThinkBook 16 Gen 6 AMD models, FreeSync must be enabled in BIOS before it is exposed to the AMD Adrenalin software. Save with F10 and retest after enabling it in BIOS.
