New Monitor is freesync but adrenalin says no

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.

I think I will try to test it around a bit. I can certainly try it on the 970 or I can put the 1080 in there. The only reason I'm reluctant is I may want to continue to use the 970 and it's no longer supported. Getting the best drivers for it installed as hellish.

I have mechwarrior 5 which I think is unreal engine 5 I can make some space and reinstall that. Likewise I could download tw warhammer ii and give the a run, but I'm not sure what the engines are there. My friend who shares a library with me has Froza but it's so huge to install!

shows how the black kinda ghosts and smears. :(

Do I run MSI Afterburner instead of Adrenaline or as well as?

It's pretty awful in elite dangerous, in fact it really isn't any better than the 970 running elite dangerous and an old 1080dp tv.

hmm the final release of afterburner or the latest beta?
 
I've tried my old monitor and I get some tearing due to the refresh rate being 75hz BUT I don't get any of the smearing at all, no ghost versions of objects chasing themselves around the screen. It's a 5ms response time IPS panel and so I get other issues but I'm starting to think the new panel must have a fault somehow.

I'm raising a ticket with overclockers. :(

I always found games with bright images against black gave quite bad smearing on my old Samsung VA ultrawide monitor. Just a limitation of VA panels I think.

Elite dangerous was a particularly bad game for it. I just got used to it and accepted it in the end.

There is no perfect panel tech, all have their limitations. My current oled ultrawide is as close to perfection as I've seen image wise, but then there's burn in to worry about instead.

I mean it makes feel slightly nauseated and disorientated, it's very bad. Like an object becomes a windmill if you turn your mouse in a circle... :(

And you really can't see it in the screen caps, though they look awful anyway

It isn't just against black background, it does it against the bright blue sky or against the brown wood below deck in sea of thieves. Skyrim also shows it up, though where I was testing was quite dark in side. I just can't believe the monitor is fit for purpose with what I'm seeing

I only see it if really look for it, and I have to do something specific- ie playing half life the black power lines, strafing slowly I can see a trial

But zipping around at 100mph in Doom Etnernal, spinning around? Nope.

I wish I had doom eternal for a check but I see it all the time, unless I'm looking dead ahead, it IS mostly only when I'm turning the camera/person. If I'm in a view that's turning fast it also happens, so as things zoom by but it is much more when I'm moving the mouse/view. It's horrible
 
Because I'm limited to what I have in my libraries? _shrug emoji_

I'm not so big on FPS shooters. Knew I should have bought cyberpunk 2077 at the winter sale. my friend has that too so I could borrow that one?
 
I don't have anywhere I can take it. Damn he doesn't have cyberpunk. mmm so Forza 4 or 5?

I went with 4 because I'd have to uninstall so many games to fit horza 5 on

Would you both take a look at this youtube recorded on my phone, from about 35 seconds onwards. You can see what I mean when I look to the left and right,
 
Blur is very much off! I've turned everything that says blur off everywhere I can find it!
In game blur is not on I promise.
 
One last try with a video with me pointing out what I mean. This is a direct link to a file on my cloud backup, so hopefully no youtube compression involved.!

I have a controller I can try that! I am suspicious of the gaming mouse...
 
Yeah, I'm trying to work out if it's actually just that bad, or if it's faulty. Either way I want to send it back though... I found the rtings for it yesterday and I've been trying to figure out if this can actually be expected performance.

If they'll let me return it I think I'll spend a bit more and go for this one. No rtings review for it but toms hardware like it and I'm struggling to find a monitor on OC site that rtings don't say have "blurry motion due to slow response time" (How it has slow response time when they all say 1ms! I don't know!)
