I suppose I could always play in windowed mode, where there's no tearing, but I don't like windowed mode and I don't like giving up. EDIT: I just discovered something interesting. I use a laptop that features two graphics processors, an Nvidia GeForce GTX660M and an Intel HD 4000. I've been using the Nvidia, but when I tried forcing PPSSPP to use the Intel integrated thing, there was no tearing. The games run like crud on the Intel obviously, so it's not really a solution, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Yes that is interesting, very strange though
I am wondering if since you have updated your Nvidia drivers, that its reset the Nvidia settings back to default on the dashboard?
Go to your Nvidia dashboard, it should be found on your control panel, un-sure of how to get to that on Windows 8.1, as I use Windows 7.
Click on the icon, look on the left hand side, and make sure its hightlighting the 'Adjust image settings with preview', you will see three options.
Make sure its on the option with the slider, and is set on performance far left, then click on apply.

Retest the emulator now, if still same problem - are you using a laptop by any chance, as most laptops are set to a balanced power plan particularly when its unplugged from the mains supply, so try and keep the laptop plugged in while playing emulators to keep it at its best performance.
To check what power setting it currently on, you will find that also on your control panel, click on Power options, make sure the radio dot is selecting High performance, then clicking on edit plan settings, change to Never on all settings, to stop it from shutting down, unless you want it to.

Hope that helps.
