New Monitor is freesync but adrenalin says no

That is plenty high enough FPS I'm on way lower than that. typically 45fps for demanding game, 90fps for doom

You certainly shouldn't notice in on bright scenes, only occassionally under specific dark areas- and not always on dark areas either.

Check your monitor doesn't have other options like overdrive

Use this and full screen it go through each option in monitor

Playing with this the best result I get is when using freesync OFF. refresh rate 165 and the response timer set to extreme(mbr) but the screen has also gone really dark?
 
Gah I can't even fiddle with the brightness now, this is terrible... I actually think my older 75hz monitor does better.

Though if the screen caps (I'm using win+alt+r) are straight from the gpu then it can't be all the monitor can it?

It's pretty bad, again the youtube isn't as bad but it's still bad...

That looks like framerate, it doesn't seem smooth. But it has been captured converted compressed so not ideal - and it's still not the actual monitor.

Do you have a OLED TV? That that, but don't set it to 4K, set it to the same resolution. If it still looks juddery then it's not the TV, it's your hardware or software.

I'm loading up Skyim on mine, Ultra, 2560x1440. AMD 7700, 32GB RAM, 8GB 480
 
No the framerate isn't smooth. Maybe I should wait for my cpu upgrade, this one isn't reliable either. I wish I understood what I should see with the ghosting test (you know when I'm looking at it and not trying to use a tracking camera!)
 
I've no idea, all my pcs are on windows 10. I'm starting to think there is a problem that isn't just the monitor. I just dont have a good known working pc to test it on, the other pcs have a 1050 ti in them or a 970 gtx not really enough power to drive this monitor. I do have a 1080 somewhere, but that wont drive a 1440 monitor either. Anyway, I expect there is nothing wrong with the monitor just it in combo with my gpu (it was secondhand gah) or my cpu/board (they are quite old) I'm just not sure what else would cause that stutter. The amd driver fps thinks I'm pushing out over 100fps in skyrim but the video caps don't look like that at all!
 
When my new cpu and board arrive hopefully we'll see something better then, though I could put the gpu in my second pc, Ryzen 5 5600x 32 gb 3200 ram? (or put more ram in this one... I dunno)

I'd suggest getting MSI Afterburner installed and set up to show GPU utilisation and a frame time graph etc on the OSD.

If you want to try the GTX 970, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised how that can perform in something like GTA V or Tomb Raider (2013) at 1440p for the sake of testing some games.

I never really had a noticeable black smearing problem with my old VA monitor (A 34" Samsung C34J791), except weirdly when replaying Deus Ex 1, an absolutely ancient game.

I see you've tested a game with UE4 and the Creation Engine, but certainly can't hurt to test games that use other engines too.
