My GPU is a Radeon R7 250E. Screen resolution is 3840x2160@60Hz 24bpp.
I had tearing with every player before I used the "TearFree" option
in my xorg.conf. It contains only a device section, nothing else:
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI-Card"
Driver "radeon"
Option "TearFree" "on"
Option "ShadowPrimary" "off"
EndSection
If you also use a Radeon GPU you can try to enable the TearFree option.
Since I've enabled this option I have no tearing problems anymore.
If you don't use a Radeon GPU then you should find out if there is a
similar option for your GPU.
Attached is my Xorg logfile (some non important stuff removed).
In the logfile you can see that I'm using a kernel parameter "radeon.dpm=1".
Without this parameter I had performance problems with my GPU in the past.
To be honest, I don't know if the performance problem I encountered still
exist without this parameter. Maybe it has been fixed in the meantime.
BTW: I'm using x11-base/xorg-server-1.18.4 and
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-7.7.1.

I don't think that it is important but for the sake of completeness
these are the USE flags for mpv (0.9.2-r1) on my system:
