Hello. I have had this monitor for 4 months now and have had no problems with it, but recently for some reason it has been tearing and lagging recently in every game I play. I tried turning g-sync on, off, adjusting the hz down to 144 and it still doesnt fix it. The issue has only been going on for the past week and I have had no hardware changes. anyone have a clue how to fix this?

    Take a look at the rest of the system. Normally those types of issues are traced back to either something running in the background or some other change. Did you get a recent antivirus update? When the issue happens is your disk usage hitting 100%?

    I did get a recent update for malwarebytes, I can try completely disabling it and playing again. I just went and played a game on valorant and was checking out my resource monitor and my disk usage never went above 10%. CPU Stayed below 50%, same with ram, and GPU temps were fine.

    Only other thing I could think of is that I got a second monitor recently (Acer Xb273K GP) Could that have something to do with it?

    What happened when you tried with Malwarebytes off?

    Uninstalled it, and nothing happened. Made sure all cables are tight and in place. Nothing changed. Unplugged my other monitor, nothing changed.
