Hi,
Recently, I upgraded my GPU from a Gigabyte Radeon HD 5770 1GB to an EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC. I uninstalled all the old ATI drivers and then ran Treexy : Driver Fusion (the free version) just to ensure there was nothing left. I installed the new GPU and installed the drivers from EVGAs site.
First of all the card is amazing. I was able to play both Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 Open Beta on Ultra settings.
I just noticed a few days ago that when I click the mouse wheel and drag to scroll down while I'm in an internet browser I see some pixelated screen tearing in the bottom 1/4 of my browser (On FireFox and Chrome). I tried disabling Hardware acceleration, smooth scrolling and turning v-sync to adaptive, but none of that has worked so far. I also removed the card and cleaned the PCI slot with compressed air and tried another mouse and DVI cable.
I also noticed that only some walls of buildings flicker slightly in the Battlefield 1 Beta at point C in the conquest map. This may be a beta related issue and not related to my GPU though.
I've heard that flickering in games and tearing could be hardware related... or is this some settings / driver issue?
Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you!
