If you aren't at max settings right now, it would be a good idea to increase your graphics settings too. With your card, it should be easy to maintain ~60fps at max settings.
Tearing occurs at any framerate that isn't synchronised with the monitor, and you see tearing more at low fps than you do as the fps gets higher and higher.
