After I observed visible tearing when watching video on external HDMI screen I switched back to Intel driver.

Before:

[ 34.531] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/modesetting_drv.so
[ 34.548] (II) Module modesetting: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[ 34.548] compiled for 1.18.4, module version = 1.18.4
[ 34.548] Module class: X.Org Video Driver
[ 34.548] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 20.0

After:

[ 36.090] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so
[ 36.139] (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[ 36.139] compiled for 1.18.4, module version = 2.99.917
[ 36.139] Module class: X.Org Video Driver
[ 36.139] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 20.0

This fixed both issue reported here and tearing during video playback.
