Took longer then I thought but here's the video

Compression artifacts. Do you get the same problems with high bit rate content, say 4K videos?

May also be compounded by local dimming on your monitor, but doesn't look like it to me.

Looks like it's still there on this video

ill post another video once it uploads

What monitor is it? Check for local dimming settings, it might just be too aggressive and highlighting the compression artifacts.

4K videos?

this is how it looks

Still definitely compression issues.

Are you running full Chroma sub-sampling or have you compromised to get a high refresh rate? (Does the same problem occur at lower resolutions?)

here are my settings for the monitor

I dropped it to 1280x1024 still there but less noticeable, and sorry don't know what chroma subsampling is but I have set the refresh rate to 144hz

just in case here are my Radeon setting too

Look up Chroma Sub-Sampling. It is a way for the GPU to compress the video before sending it to a monitor that can't handle the bandwidth.

Check your display modes. 4:4:4 is normal, many monitors compromise at 4:4:2 to reach high refresh rate.

I assume this is it, not an exact match to your info there:

Monitor doesn't seem to have local dimming at all. So that is purely the monitor showing the color of what it is being sent. So back to compression.

Now they claim HDR 10, but it is disabled on your screenshot. High Dynamic Range may also be contributing to this, make sure it is off in Windows as well for testing. Probably not something you necessarily want on in games. HDR is another bandwidth consuming feature that may be forcing compression.

looks like I'm in 4:4:4 as far as I can tell

I've been doing some tweaking and things are looking better, it's still here but less so I think

Turn off Virtual Super Resolution. That is rendering the image at a higher resolution and then downscaling it to fit the monitor. That will definitely cause artifacting. That is for increasing the image quality of older game titles, primarily, that don't have more modern AA and other features.
