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

Hey, did you turn on variable refresh for your screen and also check Nvidia settings? Are you plugged into the display port? Which monitor is this one talking about exactly? What FPS limit are you using? Which games did you play that test these things? Was it playing online or offline?
