What is the difference between Tear Free Desktop in Catalyst Control Center and Sync to VBlank in Compiz settings?

I was trying many combinations and I noticed screen tearing with tear free enabled in games. In Limbo there was a part of the screen updating slower and flickering during the movement. With Sync to VBlank and Tear Free disabled it works fine. So where is the problem? Both are for vertical sync, arent they?
