have you tried this?

Avoid screen tearing in KDE (KWin)

/etc/profile.d/kwin.sh

export __GL_YIELD=“USLEEP”

Also if the above doesn’t help, then try this:

/etc/profile.d/kwin.sh

export KWIN_TRIPLE_BUFFER=1

Do not have both of the above enabled at the same time. Also if you enable triple buffering make sure to enable TripleBuffering for the driver itself
