Same for me. It just seems that X.org in combination with any kind of hardware acceleration and/or compositing will result in vsync problems, at least on NVIDIA hardware.

I've been testing 11.10 with Unity, GNOME Shell and Xfce (with compositing effects enabled), with different NVIDIA/X.org settings, but I can never get rid of tearing. GNOME Shell does a pretty good job actually, vsync is almost perfect, but there is still a little tearing visible, for example when watching the test video in comment #38.

Here's hoping that Wayland will be the vsync miracle people are saying it will be...
