How to Enable Tearfree Mode (and what is it?)
Tearfree is like a triple buffer for graphics. As the name implies, it's great at stopping tearing that's so annoying on my system.
It is NOT freesync, that is separate.
Enable it like this:
xrandr --output DisplayPort-1 --set TearFree on
Some games might go 5fps, in which case, disable it again, since games usually have their own buffer and vsync.
