Games feel and look choppy

Hello there!
For a while now my games look and feel slightly choppy, it’s hard to describe but it’s kind of the same feeling of going back from 144hz to 60hz. It just feels wrong.
Usually I’m only playing CSGO, so I figured it’s just some sort of spaghetti code issue with that game and it’s been like that for years now, however a friend wanted to play Diablo 2R with me and I noticed how unsmooth it feels.
Using VSync and lower FPS Cap doesn’t seem to help, and ever since I noticed it in D2 im noticing it everywhere. Even on the desktop it feels weird.
I’ve tried going down from 240 to 144hz and it just made thing even worse. 144hz legitimately feels like below 60hz now, wich is mega weird.
Anyway, I’m using a Zowie XL2546 (the first version) with a 1080ti, 3700x. As far as I’m aware My System should be capable of providing enough power to hold stable frametimes.
I’ve tried the riot_low_latency and melody profiles, with great success regarding input lag, but no change in the smoothness. The melody profile made csgo feel amazingly responsive, however it was looking like playing 30 FPS, while net_graph showed stable ~180.
Now as I said, my 240hz now feels worse than 144, 144 feels worse than 60, and 60 feels like a PowerPoint presentation.
Anyone ever had this issue? I’m really not sure where to really look for any potential issues. GPU seems fine, Ram seems fine. Maybe it’s me growing sensitive towards something like that?
I’ve tried using my 144hz Asus monitor, 144 hz still feels quite a bit worse than it should(tried both display port and dvi)
I just really want to get back the feeling and smoothness of 240hz I had when I got it for the first time. So I’d be thankful for any pointer and/or suggestions!
Have a nice day.
