I still do not see any tearing. I think that fix worked.
Again, Roblm, Thank You!

Re: Nvidia video tearing
Just a quick update.
2 days later, and the problem has not shown up again.

xed admin:///etc/default/grub
Change this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
To this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nvidia-drm.modeset=1"
Then update grub and reboot:sudo update-grub; reboot
Running glxgears in the Terminal should show the framerate is the same as the monitor's refresh rate.
