Problems with Screen Tearing

[Shantanu_PC]

Hey. I am using ASUS ROG GL502VM with GTX 1060 which is capable of G-SYNC. I am finding that during games and while watching youtube videos, I am noticing heavy screen tearing. Can anyone help me out with this ?

I tried enabling it in Nvidia control panel, when fullscreen, always, nothing seems to be working.

The screen tearing occurs while watching fullscreen youtube video.

I believe that fullscreen in a browser won't work with g-sync only if its a direct x something application

Pardon me I'm new to g=sync tech and have no idea how it is implemented on youtube. The gsnyc indicator does not switch on on fullscreen youtube indicating it doesn't use gsync but how do I smoothen out frames to stop screen tearing on youtube? It does not happen in other applications of games.
