Tearing with Gsync

I recently purchased an Alienware ultrawide with gsync and I have noticed that I still have tearing in basically all of my games. Yes, I do have a frame limiter enabled, gsync is enabled, and I am playing in fullscreen. I have noticed that the tearing seems to only be happening in the lower 1/4th of the screen. Any suggestions because this is really bothering me given that this monitor was a $1000.

turn off the frame limiter and test... pretty sure that defeats the purpose of Gsync.

Have you tried turning it off to see if tearing gets worse and gameplay feels less smooth?
