I have tested both nvidia driver and nouveau under unity, classic, and classic (no effects). Changing driver makes no difference. Single or dual display makes no difference. Tearing is less with classic (no effects), but still present. The only thing that solves it for me is disabling the composite extension in xorg.conf.

Seems to me like we have either bugs in both nouveau and nvidia or a bug in xorg somewhere (composite extension? GL libs?).

I've filed a bug report with xorg/nouveau as well: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37681
