Screen tearing occurs exclusively when I move the mouse...
So my main focus is playing CSGO, around 100% of the time. I don’t need a powerful PC much at all. But I own it and usually everything works fine, even when using my movement keys w,a,s,d there’s no tearing in the walls... however, when I move and then move my mouse it starts to tear. I reformatted this morning due to this problem, but it hasn’t been fixed yet. I’m running out of options and would really appreciate your help.
It doesn’t seem to be related to changing my graphics driver versions—I’ve tried a few, both new and old. I don’t think it’s connected to my GPU or CPU. It feels more like a monitor refresh rate or in-game FPS synchronization issue. I can’t enable Vsync in CSGO because it causes serious latency problems that aren’t acceptable in competitive play. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here are my details:

SSD1: Kingston 120GB SSD (OS SSD)
SSD2: Crucial 240GB (Steam SSD)
HD: Asus 1TB Black (Storage HD)
Also, a 144Hz monitor.
Turn Vsync on in NvidiaCP or application control and let the game's Vsync work. Test both settings and limit the frame rate to 143. Extra frames act like a phantom buffer and won't cause noticeable input lag. Used this on a 60Hz monitor before—it felt smooth. I'm very aware of input lag too, especially back when I was a competitive CS and Tfc player.

Usually I hit around 250-300 fps in a 5v5 match without any issues... and VSync problems pop up with your latency in CS:GO and I just can't handle that... VSYNC is a total mess in CS:GO... I'm just trying to fix this... It's never happened before... something must be wrong.
I often miss things... the mouse polling rate was 125, not 1000... issue resolved.
