It's a 230. I notice a max of about 6% CPU utilization during 1080
playback.<br>

I would certainly disable the opengl sync to vblank - it should do
nothing for vdpau playback but may force the driver to use the blit
presentation path which may be causing the tearing. I would also
remove the triple buffer option - I've never heard of anyone needing
to use that.</pre></blockquote><span class="moz-txt-citetags"></span></pre>

These were both settings that I tried during the tearing my
troubleshooting research. Per your suggestion, I've now removed both,
restarted X with no change.<br>
<br>
Is there a setting in CMOS that controls how much memory is allocated
to the GPU? I've looked but couldn't find one.<br>
