What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

On a fresh install of Dolphin there is no screen tearing. However when I change the backend to anything at all the screen starts tearing. It persists even when I change back to the default of OpenGL. The issue is present in multiple games. I've tested Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, and Metroid Prime. They all have the issue pressent. VSync doesn't fix the issue on most backends, but seems to fix it on Direct3D 12.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

When I download a version on Dolphin and put a portable.text file in the folder, I am able to get this to happen consistently.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Yes, 5.0-16709

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

Unknown, didn't test stable version.

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

I tested 5.0-9878 and it happened there as well.

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

[Attach any fifologs if possible, write a description of fifologs and screenshots here to assist people unfamiliar with the game.]

GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)
