I'm using i3wm and no compositor; I've had troubles with this fpr multiple CPU generations and could never figure out how to actually resolve this problem (without trading CPU power). By reading mpv's FAQ [0] I finally figured out what is going on. This even resolves the poor video-playback performance on Firefox, so it's a huge relieve for me. If you aren't using a compositor and you've experienced tearing effects on/after switching to kernel mode setting (KMS) I can really suggest you using a compositor such as compton. From the linked article, here is a test video for tearing [1].
