Question Weird blurryness when panning camera quickly in all games ?

[jimbo_7]

I'm having really bizarre graphical issues in nearly every game I've tried on my new PC. I'm not even really sure how to describe it, but in every game its like the pixel clarity is incredibly reduced when moving the camera. I've tried it on 2 different 144hz 1080p monitors (one TN, one IPS) and on a 240hz 1440p ips. I've tried with and without freesync, motion blur reduction (only one monitor has it), tried 3 different DP and HDMI cables, tried pretty much every setting in NVIDIA control panel, and I just can't figure out whats wrong. It's particularly bad in CSGO, and its almost like vertical tearing? I'm sure its not actually tearing, but thats like the closest thing I can describe it to.

It seems like the edges of walls and other vertical lines "jitter" during camera motion. That particular aspect seems to be in fewer games, but the unclear picture quality when moving the camera happens in basically every game. I've tried each ram stick at a time, I've DDU'd nvidia drivers a couple times, and I even tried older games like half life on my mobo iGPU and even those seemed to have similar problems, so I don't think its on the GPU end. Temps are all normal, not really sure what else to try. Any help would be appreciated!

Aorus B650 Elite AX mobo

Gigabyte 4070 windforce
Corsair Vengeance ddr5 6000 2x16g

to have a look what the problem could be:
run userbenchmark.com and post the http link of your result, e.g. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/28977730

Reset the BIOS by jumper clrCMOS or JBAT or similar (eventually you will have to set the boot priority correctly after that)

check windows integrity
open the command prompt as administrator and type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Here is my userbenchmark results, nothing out of the ordinary: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/64434380
Windows integrity check was fine, all all drives seem fine (ran samsung magician tests)

As for other software, I have a few audio programs installed (ear trumpet, Peace (equalizer)), RTSS & Afterburner, and LittleBigMouse (software that aligns cursor between monitors, tried completely uninstalling that) but not much more than that.

One thing I forgot to mention in the original post is that when I originally built the pc (~2 months ago), I was having problems with random bluescreens, and the other posters prompted me to test ram (ran memtest several times overnight), and nothing seemed to be wrong. During that troubleshooting process, I flashed the newest bios version and reset cmos by taking out the battery, which did not fix it. I just bought a different set of ram at a local store to test and that fixed all of the crashing issues, HOWEVER, on a few occasions when I would reboot, the rgb on the ram stick in the 2nd slot (the 2nd of 4, not the 2nd used) would be dimmed(?) and windows/bios would only show 19gb of 32 total. Opening bios, turning off xmp and restarting fixed this, and would stay fixed even with xmp turned back on. This happened maybe every 4 days or so, and I even tried swapping the sticks and the same problem occurred in the same slot. That problem hasn't happened since though, and its been almost a month, so I have no idea if its the slot on the motherboard or just something finnicky with xmp/ddr5. Anyways, sorry to dump that but thats really the only other thing I can think of that would be contributing to this. Should I try clearing cmos again?

is HDR or something similar on in windows?

Nope, I would definitely be able to tell, the HDR on all of my monitors is awful lol. I kept experimenting some more, and it seems like its almost frame stuttering? I ran an rtss graph of frametime pacing and I'm not seeing any noticable spikes, but its almost jaggedy movement, but still has the same "input feel" as 144hz.

It doesn't show up very well in regular speed video, and its still kind of hard to see in slo-mo, but if you look at the edges of the wall where the light ends you can kinda see the way it "jitters"? I'm not even sure how to describe it. This is with vsync on, turning it off just does this + tearing. I've tried freesync (makes it a little better) capping it to a variety of framerates (140,144,230,235,240) and nothing gets rid of it I really appreciate you taking the time to help.
