Confirm the tearing with "unredirect fullscreen Windows" enabled. Linux mint 17 Cinnamon 64 bit, Nvidia GT 530, driver 331.38 (i tested the 340 also with the same result).
This workaround ( http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=155365 ) allow to disable "unredirect fullscreen windows" and, thus, "fix" tearing.

Title:
  'unredirect fullscreen windows' causes tearing

Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu release: 14.04
  Installed compiz version: 1:0.9.11+14.04.20140409-0ubuntu1

  The option 'unredirect fullscreen windows', which is enabled by
  default in Compiz, causes tearing in games and other fullscreen OpenGL
  applications, even with 'sync to vblank' options enabled in ccsm, in
  the GPU settings and in the game.

  With this option disabled, VSync works as fine as should with
  'unredirected fullscreen windows' enabled and there is no tearing (but
  this causes performance issues and the Unity panel shadow on top of
  the application).

  Tested with:
  - ASUS NVIDIA GTX 650-E-1GD5 with NVIDIA proprietary driver 331.38 (tested) (nvidia-331)
  - the same graphics card with NVIDIA proprietary driver 331.38 (nvidia-331-updates)
  - the same graphics card with Nouveau open source driver (xserver-xorg-video-nouveau)
  - Intel HD 4000 iGPU with default open source drivers
