How do I get rid of tearing?

Hi there,
I tried using Arch and it was quite satisfying, but I ran into a two main problems and need help from Arch Pros.

I own the Nvidia Geforce GTX 960
I installed the latest packages of "nvidia" "nvidia-settings" and "nvidia-utils" and already tried "nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }"" and saved the option to the xorg.conf but the tearing is still visible when I move windows for example.

Thanks in advance,
ArchDOS

About tearing, are you using Xfce4 perhaps? Then disable Xfce4's compositor and try out compton, might work in other DE's i dont know. Currently running Gnome 3 with proprietary driver and have no issues what so ever.

Please change your title to describe what your problem actually is. And rather than creating shopping list-style threads, create one thread per issue.

"How do I configure Arch that I can save images from web directly with drag and drop?"

I know Plasma can do this, it's a matter of DE more than Arch Linux related.
