Guys really ???? now you are sorting your tearing issues???
I wonder if I should laugh or cry ??? :O

1. First KWIN compositor is the best compositor available at the time being! no doubt about that and anyone says the opposite have no clue....

2. Second KWIN has a major bug right now that it disables the compositor every time you are launching an opengl application or game so in short you will face tearing issues or texture corruptions because the compositor is disable.

-> Temporary Fix Solution Run "kcmshell5 kwinrules" and create a blind rule (just don't press the detect button),name it whatever you want, then go to the last tab Appearance and Fixes --> "Block Compositing" -> Force -> "No" This will prevent opengl games or apps to turn off the compositor so the compositor will always stay on and you will not experience these kind of problems.

3. Other Nvidia Tweaks (I am using KWIN Tribble buffer so I am fine )

Option "NoLogo" "1"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "RenderAccel" "True"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts" "True"
Option "InitialPixmapPlacement" "2"
Option "BackingStore" "True"
Option "DamageEvents" "True"
Option "UseEvents" "False"
Option "Coolbits" "1"
Option "DisableGLXRootCliping" "True"
Option "TripleBuffer" "False"
Option "Coolbits" "24"
Option "NoLogo" "1"
Option "PixmapCacheSize" "300000"
Option "GlyphCache" "1"

4. etc/profile tweaks

# /etc/profile (export sdl ro prevent sdl games to take over my second monitor)
export __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1
export __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE=DVI-I-1
export __VDPAU_NVIDIA_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE==DVI-I-1
export __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE=DVI-I-1
export SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_HEAD=1
export SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_DISPLAY=1
export SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0
export KWIN_TRIPLE_BUFFER=1
export KWIN_USE_BUFFER_AGE=0

5. Forcefullcomposition has been there for ages , some say that it takes out performance some other not so I am not use it at all the same goes with __GL_YIELD="USLEEP" that it causes a bit of trouble.
I have tested and played many games and thats all the results based on my experience.

(some Nvidia tweaks may not work for everyone so is just my personal tweak options...)

Thats all for now...

Take care and have fun

I cant say that I am a fan of Tomb Raider franchise and I dont even remember if I have played any Tomb Raider titles before,maybe I have tried to play some titles in the past.

Anyway I was one of the "lucky" people who had the Tomb Raider Collection and didnt download during release so I played it a bit this morning when I woke up.
This game so far is awesome it draw my attention in the first 3 minutes straight to action , fights , tension ,no boring exploration etc.
I didnt play a lot just 20-30 mins I had to go to work but I know for sure what I will do this weekend :)
The port is awesome and everything is running smooth with high details @ 2560x1440.

Thanks Feral Team for the port and keep it up bringing awesome games to Linux!!!
