So I am playing Overwatch on a 144hz display and I am still getting some pretty bad tearing. Now I know that 144hz doesn't completely get rid of it but it makes it a lot less noticeable and in this case, the tearing is still very aggressive. I have v-sync off, fullscreen 1080 @ 144hz, and the framerate is locked at 144. So Overwatch seems to be the only game doing this for me as the rest are fine and look great and I am wondering if there is a fix, thanks.

Already capping the frame rate won’t hurt with fastsync or V-sync. You won’t gain extra latency compared to 60Hz. Sync the display refresh to eliminate tearing. That’s the approach I’d take sincerely.
