I have installed chrome, the screen tearing issue is still occurring. 
performance of chrome is better as there is less stuttering.

Dunno about the interface but youtube plays much more smoothly to me in Chrome 
than in Firefox so maybe try switching browsers? As for the acceleration 
issues, this more of a nouveau issue than Qubes issue, nouveau drivers are much 
slower than their proprietary counterparts.

Yeah it is plugged into the 770, I tried to over complicate things. Everything 
displays fine it's just the minor tearing when moving windows and watching 
youtube, netflix etc. For me it's not a major issue and I am quite happy with 
Qubes as a daily diver. It kind of reminds me of using the old legacy windows 
98 preformance wise. Is it an acceleration/buffering issue and is their a way 
to fix it? I don't know the platform is so new and the community is so few. I 
don't want to install nvidia because a dom0 update in the future might break 
the os.

If the monitor is plugged into it then it is utilized. If You're using a laptop 
with both integrated and a discrete graphics card You need to install bumblebee 
to be able to utilize the discrete card.

Ok. I'm not even sure if my graphics card is being utilized. I've tried the 
usual grep commands to check but the commands do not seem to work. I'll have to 
research more and put my results on here to hopefully help others.

If You're using VLC to watch videos, change the video output to X11.

I have done that; however, the video tearing still persists. Thanks for the 
reply though, I appreciate it.

Launch Window Manager Tweaks, go to Compositor tab and enable "Synchronize 
drawing to the vertical blank". Worked for me.
