*Title*
If the screen tearing is too much for you then enable "Fast" v-sync through the Nvidia Control Panel. It will eliminate tearing and fix your fps chugs.
Regular Vsync cuts my FPS in half. Adaptive Vsync makes the game playable at 58-60 FPS with most settings turned to max or on high on a GTX 970. (Terrain Quality and Vegation Quality Low though because those two hog my system down a lot)
