GTA screen tearing - tearing my hair out!

That pun though...

Anyway, I've no idea WHY, but GTA simply won't apply vsync. In short, this is what I've tried:

Vsync in game
Vsync in Nvidia CP
Limiting fps
Half Vsync in game
Adaptive vsync in Nvidia CP
Changing monitor between 59Hz and 60Hz

The only way I got it to work is windowed/windowed borderless, but it's super choppy doing that.

I'm at my wits end, it seems, in fulscreen, even though I'm well over 60fps, it simply will NOT apply vsync... At least to my monitors refresh rate, the fps counter reports back 59.9 fps 99.9% of the time. Yet there is still terrible screen tearing!

Any help, please

uninstall and reinstall perhaps ?

Fullscreen, vsync in game, 60hz, no fps limit, ncp should be let application decide under vsync option? Any time you dip under 60fps you will get tearing as normal.

My secondary monitor is indeed my amp... So could be as that goes to my plasma. Which is still picked up when it's turned off.
