I never notice tearing too much in fps games tbh, perhaps me concentrating on the game too much. I gotta admit I'm a monitoring addict when gaming. Coretemp for cpu, afterburner for gpu's. I get a bit oc'd with gpu temps. 80 max on my top card at 1920x1200. But the need for higher res is calling me. I've done some very silly cpu and mobo ipgrades in the last two years. I5 3570k, 3770k. Then 3 haswell i7 cpu's. In hindsight its money that could have went towards a new monitor. But I'm guilty of liking new cpu's. More fun for me than gpu's from a clocking point of view.

Am the same. I could happy stay without this tech, but I in need of higher resolution. 1080p is becoming old school.
