Everything is up to date, FPS capped at 60 which is my Display Adapter’s recommended setting, Vsync is on & forcibly now, through Nvidia Profile Inspector... I have tried pretty much everything except reinstalling my card, y’all... I’ve researched this subject to death.
Sorry to be vague- grateful to supply more info, but just not sure what you’d need. Please help me beat the streak!

Do you get any better or different results if you set the Max Frame Rate Setting in Inspector (or the Nvidia Control Panel) to a value just under 60 like 59 or 58.something? Any relief from the screen tears if you run the game in windowed mode?

@igazor: Hi! I am fangirling a bit right now. Anyway, no such luck on setting FPS lower. In fact, when I set Max Frame Rate in the Nvidia Control Panel, it strangely, made the tearing worse. I am solely using Nvidia Profile Inspector to cap my FPS for this reason. Windowed Mode is the only relief I get- I cannot see any tearing. Thank you for taking the time to assist me!

@nitromon: The max resolution for this card is 60Hz, but I don’t know how to check my GPU output on my computer, if that is what you are advising unless maybe through Nvidia Inspector...? I have confirmed that my monitor is set to 60Hz (the next option is 48Hz.) Thanks for taking the time to lend your knowledge!

Indeed they match. What the heck... I even tried Windowed Borderless Gaming as a workaround, but to my knowledge, there is no Edge Scrolling available & I refuse to play w/o it, so torn screen it is for now.
Thanks for responding.

Actually Windowed Borderless was what I was going to suggest next but you got to it already. It's not really that bad (for most of us) to deal with no edge scrolling, in fact I find it distracting ever since I got into the habit of right-clicking to move/refocus the game camera.

In addition to the handoff between Intel and Nvidia not working as seamlessly as it should for those who actually have dual graphics, some of the more recent Win 10 updates began causing the game to act up graphically in unexpected ways beginning around this past December or so. It got better just recently with some further Win 10 and graphics driver updates -- are you all caught up on both of those? I'm running the game on a system with an AMD Radeon card myself and now find that in full screen mode I get something that can best be described as "rippling," as if there were dozens or more tiny screen tears that clear themselves up after a second whenever the game camera moves about and only while zoomed far in. But that was annoying enough for me to stay on windowed mode until it can get resolved one way or another.
