I still do not see any tearing. I think that fix worked.

Again, Roblm, Thank You!

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.

Thanks man
