Monitor Artifacting

[Dannytheninja]

Hello, I have never had a 144hz monitor or a 1440p monitor, but I got me a girl that could do both. Straight out of the box, my Dell S2716DG looked fine, until I turned it to 144hz. Now I have artifacting at random places, I turned off my graphics overclock, with no results. Also the "1ms" response time has to be false even when I changed it to fast in the OSD, I noticed this while scrolling on a webpage. What can I do to fix the response times and the artifacting?

System specs?

 

And V-Sync is enabled?

Are you sure the artifacts are not caused by you changing the Overdrive in the OSD to fast? Very few monitors actually can handle that without artifacts.

I've tried turning the (GTG) response time down in the osd, and it helps the issue with ghosting, but that confuses the hell out of me

Got a good quality cable? I assume G-Sync is on. Reset the monitor settings? Or you could RMA the monitor, as it's brand new.

I have a Monster display-port cable, its a bit older, but I wasn't sure if I needed a DP 1.4 cable or if those were just BS.

I'd try a newer DP cable.

Thank you for your help, but this is a picture of what I am talking about, I don't know much about monitors.

I think that might do it, at 60hz, everything looks fine, but 144hz might be too much to push through the cable. I appreciate your speedy response.
