Did you disable or enable Windows Aero?

Try limiting your FPS. Did you get a new monitor or updated your drivers?

Somethings changed, wouldn't hurt to back track and see what might have caused it. I just go to my Nvidia control panel and add in stuff like triple buffering with a max of 3 pre rendered frames, and that seems to fix the screen tearing issue in games for me. I'm running i7 3770k gtx 7704gb, on an Asus pb278Q for a screen. Tearing sucks on it if I don't individually do this for each game EXE.

Might be the driver for the 960. The tearing occur even on low settings.

The nvida control panel doesn't give me much option.

@Legend002: It very well could be your drivers as Nvidia control panel should have much more then what's shown on yours. Should update your motherboards bios, then all your hardware drivers on a fresh install. So specifically uninstall the drivers before reinstall the latest ones. Also wouldn't hurt to update your pc through windows update if it doesn't automatically.

Yep. This is what you should do imo.
