Sudden Screen Tearing Issues

So, over the past few days or so, I've been getting some VERY noticeable screen tearing in TF2. It's so bad I literally can't pull out my ham shank without noticing tearing from the jiggling.

I haven't had problems with this in the past, and what's weird is that it seems to ONLY be with TF2. Other games, including source engine ones like CS:GO, seem totally fine. The problem does happen regardless of the monitor I'm using.

Does anyone know what could possibly be causing this, or how I may be able to fix or alleviate the problem? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. if it helps, I'm using a 60hz monitor @ 1600x900. I use Chris' dx9frames config.

I've always had it off, because I've heard vsync causes input lag.

But another weird issue I've noticed is that enabling vsync doesn't seem to even do anything. I've tried both in the options and in console (mat_vsync 1), and it doesn't seem to have any effect on the screen tearing, and it also doesn't cap my fps at my monitor's refresh rate, which I thought vsync was supposed to do.

I know that vsync can either cause screen tearing or fix it, I don't remember. Since it doesn't seem to help it probably has nothing to do with vsync.
