Serious issues with graphics tearing - Asus GeForce GTX 560 Ti, brand new rig.

[takino Tarski]

In all my five years on SL, I've never had an issue graphics wise until I installed SL on my brand new rig. I have terrible graphics tearing, there's no blackouts between tearing....It's just a constant fast-paced flicker and only occurs on SL (When I don't have the game selected, or running behind another window the flickering ceases.) - no other games. This problem occurs for me across all viewers, including third party viewers (Firestorm) and LL's native mesh viewer. 

For reference, specs are as follows:-
Power supply: Corsair TX750W Series V2 Enthusiast
RAM: Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3X2K2/4GX 8 GB (2x4 GB)
Graphics card: Asus ENGTX560 TI DCII TOP/2DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 560 Ti
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3,3 GHz LGA1155 Processor 
Mobo: Asus P8P67 PRO B3 Intel P67 LGA1155 ATX Motherboard 
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA3 

Currently I've tried D3DOverrider, a clean install of updated drivers in safe mode (Windows 7, ultimate 64x), tinkering with the enable vertical sync TRUE/FALSE option in the debug menu and messing with various Nvidia settings like disabling anti-aliasing/vsync in a custom profile for the viewer. I've also turned off VBO and anti-aliasing in the viewer preferences with no avail. 

Can anyone shed any light on the issues I'm having?

Thanks in advance,
Taki!

I have a couple blind guesses. Does your mobo have more than one slot for you gpu? One may be faster. Same with the memory slots. Have you tried any other games yet? It's remotely possible you recieved a bad gpu.

It has what appears to be three slots, I'll give what you said a try.....I've tried playing TF2 and a number of other Steam games but haven't had the same problems as with SL.....all running smoothly as anything.

You can read through Graphics Tweaking for Second Life if you are not framilar with setting up graphics cards.

Tearing is almost always a v-sync and frame render problem. Try Triple Buffering.

You can use GPU-Z (free program) to see how the card is doing.

You can look at How Fast is Your Viewer? - Second Life to see how others compare to you.

You can serch this form for your video card to see of others are having similar problems. Also check out SLUniverse's forum and search for your card.
