I've just migrated from windows 10 after hesitating for a while.
Everything's working fine so far. But I have this huge issue with screen tearing when I'm using the dedicated card. The issue appears everywhere basically: playing videos, browsing, youtube, moving windows around etc.
I've tried some solutions I could google but none seemed to work so far.
Is it a problem with my card not being properly supported? I'm stuck using my integrated intel graphics for the time being, but I'd like to use graphics heavy applications like blender, game engines and games later on.
I've tried using MATE de as well but the issue remained the same. Also when going into my nvidia settings program I cannot configure my laptop's screen, nor the external 2nd monitor. It just doesn't detect them at all, says screen 0 or something similar, without the chance to modify it's properties like refresh rate, resolution and synching(?).
Is there any solution for this yet?
