I'm using the latest Google Chrome on Ubuntu 13.04. I've got a Nvidia K1000M graphics card with the latest proprietary drivers installed. How do I fix this issue?

Have you tried the solutions presented to this answer? Have you tried turning off hardware acceleration in chrome? — falconer, Dec 19 '13 at 18:17
That's not necessarily all Ubuntu's fault (but it might be partly down to Ubuntu). — , Dec 22 '13 at 16:32

That's known as screen/video tearing. You can try to enable or disable Vertical Sync, or set it to Adaptive.

If you've tried playing videos outside the browser with VLC, Totem and other applications and the problem still remains, I suggest you check this thread: How do I stop video tearing?
