Stutter in all games

Hi everyone,

I just got a new Asus VG248QE monitor hoping to game full 1080p @ 144Hz but I've been experienced stuttering in all my games. When I move my mouse around, the picture quality goes bad and choppy/flickering/stuttering. Things only look good when I remain stationary. FPS is quite normal at max settings in 1080p (103fps for BF4, 70fps for GTA 5, 185fps for CS GO,..) but it stutters as hell. I connect my PC to my monitor with DP cable and set framerate in Nvidia Control Panel to be 144Hz.

I tried lowering my game settings, limiting max fps, reducing to all different framerates (120Hz,100Hz,...), vsync on and off,.... but nothing worked. I desperately dont know what to do, I got good components but cant play as wanted. I expected buttery smooth in games. So really appreciate if anyone here can help me out. Thanks a lot!

Here are my specs:
Asus Strix GTX 980 4GB
Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H motherboard
Intel Core i5 3570k
Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
Corsair TX750M PSU
 
What you told us about shouldn't be an issue. It should work...

No glitches before new monitor? Is monitor properly described in Device Manager?

Any other changes?
Mouse? and any special software for same? OS? Mods? Overclock? New Anti-virus? Two AVs?

No errors in Device Manager.
Just a cheap gaming mouse (Thermaltake Commander Combo)
I'm running Win 10 Pro 64bit
Stutter occurs in all my games (CS GO, BF4, GTA 5)
It was smooth when I was gaming on my old Acer 1080p 60Hz monitor, but since I got this new Asus VG248QE 144Hz, I've experienced stuttering.
For GTA 5, I only install Enhanced Trainer thing, but it worked well before so I dont think dats the cause
Same AV software entire time, only 1 used which is Avira, but again, there was nothing wrong before.
And I dont think its monitor's problem since I tested with my friend's PC.
 
Since the 'only new thing' is the monitor, I would contact the maker's support folks and put the problem to them.
 
May have it...perhaps you need a 'dual link' DVI-D cable or a higher version DP cable. Check what your card and your monitor can handle.
