Hi guys!

I have been facing a weird video tearig issue for few weeks now. I usually notice it on Youtube videos. By video tearing I mean something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrW78g4XBCw. I tried several possible solutions to this issue but unfortunately none of them helped. What I did was:
-reconnecting my gpu and connecting it back (didn't help)
-reinstalling gpu drivers (didn't help)
-forcing Vsync to "on" state in Nvidia control panel.(didn't help)
-testing if the same issue will appear on HD4000 (still there)
-testing with different GPU (still there)
None of these helped. I thought for a second that the thing that maybe causing all this hassle is an hdd that (as my friend said) has some badsectors which HD tune didn't find when i tested it. I took the hdd out and there was no video issue at all. Now after a week maybe the issue is back. Tearing shows up from time to time and I can barely see it in games or movies stored on hdd. In addition, my pc dualboots OSX and windows 7. I can't see the tearing on mac side, and even if i kind of can see something I'm not entirely sure if i'm not convincing myself that I can actually see anything wrong (placebo effect). Is there anything I can try doing RMAing my pc? Today there was not even a single video tear whereas yesterday it was impossible not to notice it.

Thanks in advance for the help!

My specs: OS: OSX 10.9.2 & Win 7 CPU: I5 3570k GPU: Gigabyte GTX 770 MOBO: MSI Z77A-G43 RAM: 8gb RAM SSD: Samsung 840 PRO 128gb HDD: WD BLUE 1TB PSU: OCZ 600W CASE: ZALMAN Z11

This issue depends on the game. South Park The Stick Of Truth is a game which has a lot of screen tearing no matter how powerful your computer is. I believe it will be fixed soon.

tearing is almost not visible in games/movies. Mainly youtube videos have that.

Well, youtube video codecs are crap so if the video tearing is occuring in youtube videos. Its just the codecs, not your computer.
