Okay, so, I've been experiencing screen tearing after I bought new monitor. Got a GeForce GTX560, tried to run dual monitor on iGPU, no change. Tried to reinstall all kind of drivers, buyed dual link DVI cables and still no good.
Any solutions? Thanks.

Setup:
GTX 560
Intel Core i5 3570
8GB Kingston ram
500GB seagate HDD
BenQ G2420HDBL@1920x1080
Phillips 232E@1920x1080

Hey im having the same problem.
Asus Sabertooth z77
Intel i7 2600k overclocked to 4.2ghz liquid cooled
Corsair vengeance 16gb 1600mhz ram
2x intel 520 180gb Raid 0
4tb, 3x 1tb storage drives.
2x PNY GTX 680 4gb SLI MODE
AOC 27" IPS monitor

It all happen around jan of 2014 when i was using firefox i was getting tearing at the lower half of the screen. Just in firefox. I used one gpu at a time and reinstalled windows 7 and got the same results. Used one SSD and still the same results. What has me clueless is that if i install windows 8 or 8.1 i get no tearing. Ive been using windows 8.1 because of tearing issues. But i notice that trim isnt running like it should in windows 8.1 so i decided today to go back to windows 7 to properly trim my ssds in raid 0. But the tearing is there and wont go away. Im to the point if just saying f@@k it, i'll just go back to windows 8.1. I still havent been able to find a solution. And yes i have swapped Hdmi cable and all of the above and cant find a solution.

Yeah i only have one display. My friend took both my GPUs over to his house and tested them out his computer doesnt have a problem with either one or in SLI mode. We also test my AOC monitor and no problem.
