    Hey guys I just got this new laptop last week and I'm having an issue with Windows 8.1. It seems that when I run Windows 8.1 I will get screen tearing during all games whether I have vsync enabled or not. I've tried various configurations within the nvidia control panel and also updated my video drivers. However if I run Windows 7 with the exact same drivers for all my hardware from the Acer website I get no tearing in any game. So I'm unsure if it's just a Windows 8 issue or if I'm doing something wrong. Any help is appreciated and if you need any more info let me know. Thanks.

    P.S. The exact model laptop is Acer Aspire V17 Nitro Black Edition VN7-791G-76Z8
