Not a single person has brought up Overdrive yet?? Go into your OSD and make sure in the "Gaming" section that "OD" is set to normal. This should be the best option. You can test the settings here vvv Double check that this is the type of blur you are talking about because a lot of people mean different things when they say "Blur"

I have the same monitor and it's interesting that you said G-Sync maybe has different Over-drive when G-Sync is off, i personally haven't noticed it but ill have to check it out. I pretty much only use my monitor in G-Sync mode. Is there anything specific you can tell me to back up this claim? Anything specific you noticed?

Asus/Acer/AOC 240hz are all pretty identical. They have near identical OSD options and they look all the same.
You are my hero, thank you. this is perfect.

The lines i was seeing just seemed smaller without gsync and it was kind of inconsistent, wouldn't say there was a 100% correlation, more likely just desperate me hoping to see a difference, thank you so much for your help.

Yes, try tweaking your Overdrive.

See LCD Motion Artifacts and also LCD Overdrive Artifacts for images of some common artifacts found on panels. Also, variable refresh rates can amplify overdrive artifacts, but NVIDIA does try to do a good job at calibrating overdrive -- that said, the humongous VRR range (30Hz thru 240Hz) can make things challenging. This will no doubt improve in future 240Hz displays.
