BOTH screens must have the same refresh rate or you will get tearing.

do you mean this part of xorg.conf:

Once I have checked "Sync to VBlank" for Video Texture Adpator and Video Blitter Adaptor,
the nvidia-settings suggest to reset them to this:

which would mean  that according to the connected screen I display the Gem window on ,
I have to set the Gemwin framerate to 60 for "Monitor1" and to 75 for "Monitor0",
If I got all your explanations well?

Or woudl it be better to lower the fastest screen's maximal VertRefresh rate to the slowest's?
