I'm seeing constant horizontal screen tearing during fast camera pans in Hellblade 2 on my RX 9070 XT, why is this happening?

While exploring those creepy subconscious realms, the horizontal tearing during fast camera movements was a total nightmare, making me doubt the sync capabilities of this high-end card. My Vastarmor RX 9070 XT Super Alloy PRO was swinging wildly between 82 - 115 FPS, and the monitor just couldn't keep up. I first tried forcing V-Sync in the driver, but the input lag spiked to over 45ms, making the controls feel like I was playing through mud—completely unacceptable. I then dove into the driver control panel, enabled FreeSync, and manually nudged the refresh rate to 143.8Hz to dodge a specific signal interference zone. Checking RTSS, the frame times collapsed from a messy 7 - 18ms range down to a rock steady 6.8 - 7.5ms. I did hit a snag where the screen edges flickered slightly after enabling FreeSync, but that vanished once I swapped the signal protocol from 1.4 to 2.1. Core temps stayed chilled at 62 - 68℃ with fans humming at 1400 - 1600 RPM. After a few stress tests, the tearing is gone and the frame times are locked at 6.8 - 7.5ms.
