Question Screen tearing on second monitor

[MaddenGG]

I have a Gigabyte G5 laptop (144 hz) with RTX 3060 which I am using with a BENQ 60HZ monitor. In some games (Total War Warhammer III, Pharaoh: A New Era) I am having terrible screen tearing even though I have my VSYNC set to ON.

I tried different approaches:

• VSYNC ON in-game, OFF in NVIDIA Control Panel
• VSYNC OFF in-game, ON in NVIDIA Control Panel
• Both ON

The problem does not happen on the laptop display (even if I limit the FPS to 60 on this display), only on the second monitor. My second monitor does not have GSYNC as far as I am aware.

Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried a different cable to connect the monitor? Are you using HDMI or Display Port? Is the cable excessively long, or old?

If HDMI, you should be using a 2.0 cable, if you aren't already. No longer than 10 feet if possible.
