So I see a lot of tearing in some videos. I checked "force vertical sync on" on the nvidia panel but it doesn't help.

Could be your monitor, ive seen some not be able to refresh fast enough and give off a tearing.

This problem is usually caused by the video card driver it's using. But it may be something else, can you tell us what type of connection you are using on your monitor and your graphics card?

Doesn't low monitor response times lead to image ghosting? Not tearing...

It's high that's bad, lower is better an I'm not sure I just know that it damages the image.

DVI. I have an 8800GT, and a LCM-22w2 Westinghouse 22" monitor. No idea what refresh rate it is, and I don't know how to find out.

It's your graphics card. Have you updated it's drivers? If not go to www.nvidia.com and it's pretty straight forward from there :P
