I had found a solution for you, but the link for the installer is gone "404 Page"
If you can try to google it, this is what it is called on GitHub: Dwedit/NvidiaOptimusFixer
Steps:
For those who don't want to bother compiling it yourself, here's I've uploaded the exe here; I assume it should work.
Edit: It seems like you'll have to do it yourself; here's my recollection of the steps:
1. Download the free version of Visual Studio
2. Run the installer (I don't remember needing to change any settings), and then restart your computer when you're told to.
3. Extract the NvidiaOptimusFixer.zip contents, and open the NVidiaOptimusFixer with Visual Studio
4. In the toolbar at the top, click build and then Build NvidiaOptimusFixer
5. Navigate to the .zip extraction location, \NvidiaOptimusFixer-master\bin\ and open the new application, NvidiaOptimusFixer; assuming it works properly, you'll have its icon in the taskbar and the screen tearing will be gone
