Reporting in, on my findings after going in & setting up 30 as the max frames rate...
Ok, tried the whole set max frame rate to 30... and got tearing, so.. I set it all back to run under the universal settings, applied that, closed out the control panel for my card... went into SH4 & set vsync to on... and... no tearing...
Live & learn, as they say...
And that concludes this report.
