Re: Gtx 970 and screen tearing

Im wondering why this problem dont exist in Gnome3

As I said, their compositing has always been very good.

The best option is always the native video driver method but that doesn't seem to work for you

Is your GNOME desktop using Wayland?

That offers the best desktop experience for GNU/Linux at the moment, IMO.

Also, to cut down on RAM usage in GNOME be sure to disable all the tracking & indexing features.

Nope im on X11.

I was actually reading about Wayland today and noticed that many people bash it so i didn't test it.

I'm thinking the same people who bash it...are also the ones who based systemd when it began to make inroads...

GNU/Linux is a moving target and the interweb gets crusty fast.

In my opinion, Wayland is fantastic right now and it will only get better, you can try out with a Fedora 25 live ISO image:
