I am having a weird graphics issue where shadows, fine details, and some textures look unstable/noisy in multiple games. It is not just one specific game. Even older games like Batman: Arkham Asylum have rough-looking shadows and weird shimmering/jagged artifacts.

My specs:

• GPU: RTX 3060 Ti
• Monitor: Gigabyte M27Q 27" 1440p 165Hz
• Native resolution: 2560x1440
• NVIDIA Control Panel was reset to defaults
• Tried changing texture filtering quality to High Quality
• Tried updating NVIDIA driver
• Used DDU in Safe Mode and reinstalled an older/stable NVIDIA driver
• Issue still happens after DDU
• Happens across multiple games, not just Batman
• The issue appears in video capture, so I do not think it is only a monitor issue
• Game resolution is set to 2560x1440
• Render scale/resolution scale is set to 100% where available
• DLSS/FSR/upscaling disabled where available
• NVIDIA Image Scaling is off
• NVIDIA Control Panel global settings reset

Does anyone have ideas on what could cause global shimmering/bad shadows/fine texture aliasing across games even after DDU?
