Quoting: MinuxI've been testing these days. In some games I get a lot of screen tearing. When I enable this option in the nvidia-settings the screen tearing goes away. I haven't noticed any performance difference, I'm curious to know if someone had any performance issue. As I've read it usually decreases a bit in performance, but it doesn't look like that to me.

I'm curious about this option because I usually end up enabling it every time I install Linux. But I don't really find a lot of people having issues when enabling it. (I haven't tried the force full composition pipeline, as I've read that's even worse for performance).

Wouldn't be a good idea to have it active by default in case the performance isn't really that bad? I know it's useful because I've searched for it. But I think for any beginner who comes to Linux it would be a real mess when you have screen tearing by default in a lot of games.
