I noticed while gaming some thins are blurry. Cant tell if its jagged edges or some kind of blur. Half of the time it seems like jagged lines problem, other half of the time its like screen tearing almost. Happens across multiple games and I've tried using gsync/ vsync on games.

This video you can see what im talking about. Lines get all jagged and like just really weird graphics around edges.

Sometimes there also is some flickering about 1/4 down the monitor. A horizontal flicker/flash and its dark color usually. Horizontal line about an inch thick.

I'm trying to test each monitor each on their own to see if these problems still persist. The jaggedness and some kind of screen tear still persisted on each test. The screenflash thing i have not tested long enough to see if it happens.

PSU needs to be more? Ram bad? Or faulty gpu?

I don't think there's a problem per se, just a problem with rendering in general and something you may not be able to fix.

The thing with fine details like thin lines and whatnot is when the GPU goes to render them, it has to sample which pixel that detail will land on. And if the detail happens to skirt the line of what's considered a "hit" or "no hit", then it'll appear to flicker. Increasing the rendering resolution can fix this, as can temporal anti-aliasing methods.

This may also explain the blurriness sometimes. The game may be using some sort of anti-aliasing or some other filtering to try to fix the above.

As far as the flickering 1/4 down the monitor, I don't really see anything going on unless I'm just not paying attention to the right part. If it doesn't show up in the video, then the GPU isn't rendering any artifacts.
