Recently I got a 144 Hz monitor. It is just as smooth as I would have liked and looks great. Unfortunately, with a second monitor (my old 75 Hz one) connected ganes V-sync to it even when running on my 144 hz one, causing screen tearing in every game I tried. I read a forum on Reddit about like modifying /etc/environment, and it seemed to work as I got 144 fps in Steam games, but the screen still was tearing. Only when it was the only monitor connected did it run without tearing. It seems to be maybe a compositer/X Server issue?
My OS: Garuda Linux (Arch Based)
My graphics card: RTX 3070 Gaming Z Trio

Thanks for any help in advance!
