[SOLVED] SOS,Need new gpu replacement advice for Xfce asap.

Hello, I'm in deep trouble yesterday my hd6950 meet it's end after 6 years used.
I'd like to know is "Does gtx 1050 have screen tearing issue even enable vsync from xfce tweak?"
I've search about Nvidia screen tearing users on Xfce it's seem enable vsync from xfce tweak
ain't work for them so they use another method by use compton or other complex manual settings.
If it's true I'll go RX 560. Currently I'm in headache choosing this 2 cards 2 days passed by now.
If It's not I'd go Nvidia that's why I need Nvidia users to confirm does enable vsync on xfce tweaks
clear off screen tearing on your graphc cards?

Hello Lengendary. Not sure about GTX 1050, because I have an older generation card, but you probably would have to enable "Force Full Composition Pipeline" option to get rid of the screen tearing. But that's very simple, you just need to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf file and copy this configuration there:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Device0"
    Driver "nvidia"
    VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName "GeForce GTX 1050"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "Device0"
    Monitor "Monitor0"
    Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0 {ForceCompositionPipeline=On, ForceFullCompositionPipeline=On}"
    Option "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" "off"
    Option "TripleBuffer" "on"
EndSection

Whoa, thank you for the neat settings template, that's what I seek.
I'll take more deep consideration about it.
Due to Nvidia GTX 1050 currently have cheaper price GTX 1050 Ti 4GB(4090), While RX 560 4GB(4390)
& have better gaming support also have utlity nvidia-settings & oc tools Nvidiux  that I need.
While AMD is paradise for cryptonight based mining if I decide mining priority over game I'd go rx570 (4990) instead.
Unfortunately, the cheapest RX 570(4,990) out of stock I've RX 560 4GB & GTX 1050 Ti 4GB left in consideration.
There's 2nd hands void 2 years GTX1060 6GB(5150)  but I desperate to buy it.

Updated:
I've decide Nvidia due to Debian Xfce can't mine with mesa driver for Rx 570 which suffer without AMD-GPUPro.
On Xubuntu I've to install AMD-GPUPro which's kinda prevent me go other distros.
So Nvidia meet my requirement it can install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings on both sides.
