I cannot believe the fix was so simple

When you are a man... sometimes you wear stretchy pants... in your room... is for fun...
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust!

So, my GPU is set to run at 120-230 fps, but my screen is capped at 60hz…
Turns out that vertical sync was causing the screen tearing I was getting.
The tech who came today to install my brand new hard drive, which did fix the issue for about five hours, before the screen tearing intensified, was the first one to ACTUALLY know what my issue was.
He said, “Yeah, you wouldn’t expect a machine this expensive to have screen tearing that bad.”
NO ONE AT TECH SUPPORT HAD ANY IDEA WHAT THIS WAS.
Thank god the on-site technician they sent out was a gamer.
Turns out Windows 10 has this problem on various high end graphics processors, screen tearing out the wazoo.
But, I set all my games to disable vsync and they run great now.
I turned it off for Firefox and enabled hardware acceleration and it too seems to be running better.
WHY DID I HAVE TO STRUGGLE WITH TECH SUPPORT FOR TWO MONTHS TO FIND THIS OUT!?
WHY!?!?!?!
