hey guys i'm having trouble with screen tearing and rubber banding while playing games. i bought a new samsung g7 monitor and started seeing these weird lines when the game runs at 2k resolution. i tried changing several resolutions, turning adaptive sync on or off, even capping my fps and hz. nothing worked for me. i swapped out my graphics card but the problem is still there. i also swapped my ram and it's not fixed either. im really confused about why this is happening at all. any help would be super nice to me since i tried three different monitors and they had the exact same issues. could it be my cpu or mobo? i bought everything less than a year ago and the issue has been there for a while, so i assumed it was just my monitor not keeping up properly. here are all my specs: gigabyte aorus z390 mobo, i7-8700k (never overclocked), gtx 1080 (never overclocked), 32gb g skill trizent z rgb ram at 500gb nvme ssd, and 1tb samsung nvme ssd. my water cooler is a corsair h110 with 3600 mhz ram running at xmp on, all windows updated. im so lost as to why this is happening. thanks in advance
