At least here & others confirmed with recent nvidia mobile chips the latest nvidia drivers from the new ppa & an edit to xorg.conf eliminates most tearing (some vids here show a little on occasion
The ppa - https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

The additional line added to /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the Intel device section -
Option "TearFree" "True"

Ex. here -
Section "Device"
    Identifier "intel"
    Driver "intel"
    BusID "PCI:0@0:2:0"
    Option "AccelMethod" "SNA"
    Option "TearFree" "True"
