Screen tearing Nvidia

I have noticeable screen tearing. I have tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … ti-monitor, but it doesn't seem to change anything at all.

I am using dual identical monitor setup. I have Nvidia RTX 2080Ti and using proprietary Nvidia driver from Pacman.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
    Option         "metamodes" "DPY-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0 {ForceCompositionPipeline=On}, DPY-5: nvidia-auto-select +1920+0 {ForceCompositionPipeline=On}"
    Option         "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" "off"
    Option         "TripleBuffer" "on"
EndSection

Re: Screen tearing Nvidia

I am using dual identical monitor setup.

You can only sync to one output (it doesn't matter if they're the same model) but depending on the API you can control to which one using eg. for OpenGL by exporting __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE, see /usr/share/doc/nvidia/README for details)

Re: Screen tearing Nvidia

What is your WM/DE? 
Running Picom/Compton tends to fix screen tearing for people who use i3 and bspwm.
