240hz feels like 60. Choppy/jittery image

Hey guys, I guess it's the right forum to seek help for my issue, which is: gameplay is not smooth especially when moving mouse around, textures are flickering/vibrating (?), overall image on screen is choppy and jiterry, it feels like 60 or 80 hz instead of 240 hz mode. If i move my mouse i can see individual frames.

I'm trying my best to describe it. It has started 6-8 months ago, and is still present.

Specs: ryzen 5 5600x, 3080, 32gb 3600mhz, msi b550 mpg, zowie xl2546k

I mostly play cs2, even if i get 400-500 fps in an empty lobby (1% lows are good) its still unllayable.

I tried using scanline sync, but for some reason the game starts stuttering/spiking. I could not find a game where its not doing this, even in league where i have 10% gpu utilization.

I have tried 3 different monitors and 5 different GPUs (1 amd 4 nvidia), 5 different windows installs, 2 different mobos.

The only thing that helped me if i ran gsync + vsync, but on my new zowie monitor, i cant check the enable gsync box even if i turn dyac off, it says its not compatible (but i want to use dyac anyway).

I tried doing a frame skipping test. I tried making a slow-mo too.

try something for me and post back if something changes.
turn off the wifi on your router.

Have you tried different dp cables or even hdmi port with different cables , i think you didn't mention this so you haven't tried it yet

Why are you creating new topics? You've been given your answer already for further troubleshooting attempts.
Provide a ZenTiming screenshot of your current RAM settings.

Since you mentioned scanline sync, I assume you’re using MSI Afterburner + RTSS?

Try going into the settings and turning OFF all monitoring of power (CPU power, but especially GPU power).

I cannot find your RAM kit on the memory compatibility list of your motherboard, meaning there's a possibility of your system being unstable with the culprit being the RAM settings.
Refer to my posts in other threads in this subforum for more info on what you could do to troubleshoot.
