When i open a new tab in chrome, i get a very brief screen tear effect.

Happens very quickly, and only when i open a new tab from a website (if i am on the chrome new tab page already and open another tab, i dont get the effect). I haven't noticed anything like this while gaming, although i have seen some slight tearing while watching some videos.
 
Solution
I think this is more likely the GPU. Try to monitor the temps and see if they rise when you get this effect.

Also, try a different connection cable, or switch from DVI to HDMI (or vice versa) for the connection.
