My monitor is capable of 360hz, but if I change it to 240,144hz, the game is smoother and there is no input lag as much as 360hz, the only problem with 144.240hz is that there is stuttering, so it is bad even if g-sync is on or without it. what is the solution? and screen tearing

It likely has to do more with settings on the display and your GPU not being able to pump that many frames.
There should be settings for "fast or game" mode that can be adjusted along with setting the display's refresh rate (having set to fast, but w low FPS can be problematic).

I'm guessing you are no-where near 360 FPS in the titles where this is an issue?
Try playing a very easy to run game w/o a frame cap see if the issue occurs w/ the 360Hz setting as well.

Do you use the display cables provided with the monitor ? I have yet to see stuttering and tearing with my Gsync display. Is Gsync on from the drivers, is is set to fullscreen are your games running in fullscreen ? Is vsync on in the games or drivers. Are there lag spikes from the internet connection or servers you are playing on ? And can or did you try you monitor on another PC ?

This doesn't really seem to make sense, if g sync is on you shouldn't get tearing or stuttering. If you are getting tearing it's because the framerate is above the refresh rate and you don't have v-sync on in-game.

no! 600 fps in cs1.6, csgo.

The game is not smooth 360hz..

Are there lag spikes from the internet connection or servers you are playing on ? And can or did you try you monitor on another PC ?

I don't have another PC, so I didn't do this, I changed the cable, but that didn't solve it, I play in full screen, vsync is not turned on, I tried all kinds of settings, my internet connection: download: 500 mbs, upload: 130 mbs

This doesn't really seem to make sense, if g sync is on you shouldn't get tearing or stuttering. If you are getting tearing it's because the framerate is above the refresh rate and you don't have v-sync on in-game.
If I turn on vsync in the game, there is still screen tearing,

IF 360hz is good, but not smooth, even with g-sync on, and 240hz and 144hz are smoother, but there is screen tearing even with g-sync, then what...

Make sure gsync is enabled in the monitor osd. Enable gsync, set fps cap to 358, and enable vsync in Nvidia control panel. Disable any fps cap and vsync ingame. If you still see tearing there is something seriously wrong. Those settings should make sure you never leave the gsync fps range and should never see any tearing.

If you seriously need more than 360 fps for your skill level in CS:GO, then you can start adjusting settings from the above and see if you can maintain stability.

As Calenhad mentioned, enable G-Sync and V-Sync.
Also in many games you can set a refresh-rate cap and then use V-Sync with it.

Well then there is a serious problem... :(

Have you done exactly those steps I said? Because if you are still seeing 600 fps in CS:GO they're not correct. I know you didn't mention fps in your last post, just making sure.

Can you post screenshots of your Manage 3D settings and Set up G-SYNC tabs in the Nvidia Control Panel? Run GPU-Z and post a screenshot of the first page.

You can also experiment with the max framerate setting in the Manage 3D settings tab to see how far down you need to go before it stabilises. Since you said 240 works fine, there should be a threshold between 240 and 360 where it goes bad.

And if your computer is capable of a flat 240 fps when running that refresh rate, but it is fluctuating when set to 360, that will feel worse.

As said before, tearing should never occur as long as you stay below 360 fps with the monitor set to 360hz and g-sync is working properly.

Also check in Windows Display settings (right-click the desktop), scroll to the bottom and click on Graphics settings. Are Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling or Variable refresh rate enabled? (VRR enabled shouldn't really matter, but they're in the same screen anyway)
Toggle Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling to the other setting and try then. Generally speaking I would recommend having it enabled, but no harm in testing the other setting either way.

And then there are the numerous potential issues with other hardware or software on top of this.

It doesn't matter if this phenomenon is in csgo (cs2) or cs1.6:since there is no input lag at 360hz, everything is probably slower and this is 360hz
For example, cs1.6, if gl_vsync 1 is on, it might not be smooth, but if gl_vsync is 0, it is not so smooth, and the shots are missed.
360 Hz (358 fps)
no hitbox either

like at 240 hz or 144 hz.
Anyway, I noticed that if you start your own server (localhost), it's smoother and it feels like you're playing on a normal server.
And this can be said on 240.144 hz, but there is a stuttering that is not smooth
so far I have a UTP cat 5e cable, this could also be a problem, I just ordered a cat 7e, bandwidth MHZ can also be the cause, because I think the monitor, video card, all good words, I suspect this.. I replaced everything... there was a problem like this a long time ago..

Maybe there are little spikes on the netgraph, little green spikes, and maybe that's why it's happening..

This is a Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling it is switched on, it has been so far, the Variable refresh rate is raised.

To narrow it down. If you play singleplayer games, do you still have, what you call stutter, tearing and lag ?

Since I only play fps games, I don't really feel it, I don't play, but I don't think so.

So you don't have any single player game to test with ?
My point is, that if your problems are present in singleplayer games too then it's you machine, if those problems are only in multiplayer then it might be your connection.

Damn, its almost as if playing CS on super gamer gear is a recipe for problems. Maybe the real game of CS is getting it to run right? :D

That is my conclusion though here - this is CS related, not a monitor issue, nor hardware.

A lot of things are not the same: for example, I have an nvidia card and no amd, nor a monitor, that's why the settings are different, I have windows 10, I don't even know if it's worth putting it on windows 10 because then I'll do this.
