Ok so after a whole day of troubleshooting.. Sometimes you gotta sleep on it.. Turns out it had something to do with whatever profile is created on when plugged in, I’m not sure. I tested the monitor on a different computer, tearing was gone. I moved the monitor back to my computer, tearing was gone. I was prepared to flash bios of the monitor which was supplied by Wasabi, and attached here in case anyone ever needs it. Also was prepared to flash both GTX 1080ti’s bios. Even Nvidia engineers were aware of this.. actually.. They informed me that something similar to what I described here was an actual problem on recent drivers, they said they fixed it.. I did a lot of reading last night turns our this stuff had happened to many people on GTX 1060’s and Titan’s from what I understand.. Anyways. Glad it’s fixed.
So I can say I love this monitor. I tried the Alienware 34" 3440x1440 120hz gsync.. and with gsync on it was like a bottleneck. GPU usage would throttle and fps would suffer. So I would end up turning off gsync, only to ask myself why I got this monitor. With the Wasabi, the colors pop. This is an IPS and I see no backlight bleed or dead pixels. Obviously the drawback is poor customer service/tech support but hey… Many of us who decide to maintain our own PC’s should be just fine. I find that even without gsync, this monitor is smooth. I don’t hit 120 fps all the time. Take Witcher 3 for example.. usually hovering around 80-90hz, but on occasion, it jumps all the way to 120-130. I turn on HDR but being I think it’s 400 nits, I can’t tell much difference. All I can say is a purchase decision on a monitor under 1k… very happy with this. I’d rather support manufacturers that release things with dp1.4 in a 43" than to encourage companies like Acer and Asus to release 27" for $2000. The sad fact is both are limited to 96hz for 10bit. Can’t speak for Acer and Asus but this is full 4:4:4 at 10bit.. and it’s a joy for gaming and daily work use.
@MrTank It runs on just one displayport 1.4 cable.
@alphazero1990 I got it from Daysale on Ebay

These are the “directions” for flashing firmware on the WASABI MANGO UHD430 HDR Dual DP i20 43" 120Hz Real 4K UHD Monitor
