the windows 7 basic theme (right click desktop, personalize, windows 7 basic) disables compositing on the desktop and aero effects. basically, this makes the desktop run without vsync, so when you drag a window around, you should see tearing.
my question is, when using the basic theme, where do you see the tearing?
on my gtx 460 (fermi) and on intel hd graphics, i see tearing everywhere. this is expected as my mouse polls at 500hz, which is much higher than my display's refresh rate of 85hz.

on the two maxwell cards i've tried (750ti, 970) there is this weird thing where the top half of my screen or so shows no tearing, but then you get a lot of tear lines in the bottom half.
unfortunately i dont have those cards right now, so i can't take a picture, but here's an awesome paint diagram: http://i.imgur.com/zrsjB5G.png
so... what about kepler?
