Hey guys.
So i recently upgraded to a 970, and compared to my 680 its amazing, higher framerates, better settings etc,

But i noticed, i get more screen tearing, ( i know how screen tearing works but read me out )

On games that i lock the fps to 60 on, i've noticed more tearing in places whereas my old card didnt have as much, specifically Alan Wake and Darkness 2, some areas have so much tearing, and i never experienced that much with my old card (vsync off always etc)

Do some GCards cause more tearing by default or? Because some games tear so bad in some places, its quite weird.
