Hello.
I've started to play Far Cry New Dawn at launch date, before I received the day-one patch (I don't know why I received this patch so late, I bought on Uplay my game).
Before day-one patch, my gaming session was good with v-sync enabled and no tearing.
After day-one patch, V-Sync seems disabled even with option toggled on.
Tearing is just horrible, because my computer can manage 50-80 fps, and my screen is only 60 Hz.
Added to this, the game suffered some black transparent horizontal bars, like an old CRT screen you shot with a camera, when v-sync is disabled.
The only way to keep v-sync is to play in borderless windowed mode, with some performance penalties.
Here's my benchmark:

About my computer :
OS: Windows 10 Pro 1809 x64
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K
GPU: NVidia GeForce GTX 1070 (EVGA superclocked model)
RAM: 16 GB
And to be complete, i'm suffering several random crashes (my hardware is 100% good), I think, not related to this vsync problem.
Tearing and vsync problem are now resolved.
I have reinstalled the same driver via GeForce Experience but with "clean installation" option.
I don't know why, because I never set up other than default options in nvidia control panel (especialy v-sync to be controlled by the 3D app), but it changed the game v-sync to behave as intended. So it seems to be a driver problem with the new one provided by Nvidia.
About black bars, they now gone, so they were related to v-sync off tearing behavior.
I think they are caused by some strange black flickering in Prosperity by night, when you are looking to a dark area. If you look to a bright area, the effect isn't visible.
It cause the screen to show a darker image on two, causing the flickering.
Maybe with v-sync off this flickering can cause a black bar where the half-image was rendered...
I tried to capture this flickering with GeForce Experience overlay at 60fps and 50mbits bitrate, but the video don't look like reality.
I hope I've helped someone.
