Ah ... thank you for explaining. Of course, as you might have guessed, I don't experience this tearing either. Audio in sync, no tearing ... I'm beginning to wonder if I have a real 770 at all.

As for tearing, maybe it depends on the framerate. I always use the lowest framerate I can possibly bear (everything above 15fps is fine for me, sometimes I even go down to 12fps) simply to reduce size - it's an old habit from the days when I used my mobile phone for watching videos. I could imagine that with low frame rates, tearing doesn't become apparent even if it might happen between frames.
