tried that while in game

Sorry, thought you meant in-game. Are both your monitors set to the same refresh rate?
How did you uninstall the Nvidia drivers? Simply via the uninstall tool or did you use DDU?

-edit- Are you using the latest drivers? Try to install an older version like 13.12

I had an issue with Screen tearing on both of my monitors with my 770, may or may not be the issue you're having, but for me changing the Windows theme to Aero solved it.

Worth a try

What I've experienced with screen tearing had to do with the connection between the screen and the graphics card. My screen was connected trough a VGA-DVI cable and that tearing stopped after replacing it with a DVI-HDMI cable. It was weird though that this tearing started after I moved my parts into a new case, so I had the same graphics card. You could try experimenting with maybe an old graphics card or other cables?
