FPS Lags since i got a new Monitor
At first, my english is not the best so please apologize my bad spelling. (Im German)

Since i got my new Monitor "ASUS VS278" i got FPS Drops ingame. Before i use a normal TV-Monitor for playing the game (some kind of Toshiba) and got nothing on problems. My Monitor and the TV has the same hardware "1920x1080, 60HZ" just my monitor have a framerate form 1ms. Graphic on very High, FPS on 130 (go down on 100 maximum ingame). Now is have on 3v3 FPS 90 and sometimes it goes to 40 down for a second. If i set down the Graphics on very low, like a game from 1998, theres no difference. If i Play the game on XBox One, i got no lags so the problem comes not from the monitor. On Internet there some other people there got the same problem, but nothing helps for me. Here my Gear:

Monitor: ASUS VS278
CPU: AMD FX-6100
RAM: 8GB DDR3 (2x 4GB)
GPU: SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 380 4GB GDDR5
Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX

Like i said, i got this Problem since i got the new Monitor, nothing has change on my gear before. I use MSI Afterburner to set my Fan-Speed a little bit higher, the Tool said, ingame the temperature go until maximum 71°C. I tried differend Graphiccard-Driver, different settings ingame and driver. VSync doesnt help me too, from 60FPS i got on game 50FPS. I hope really you could help me, it make the game unplayable.

Vsync is a bad idea no matter what, if you're trying to compete even in a casual sense, turn it OFF. No question.

Your Processor is your weak point, it's responsible for your frame drops and reducing graphics settings likely won't help since most of them don't strain the processor to begin with, might as well keep them high.

Lag could mean a lot of things and it's a hard thing to describe, but you might have to try.

Is your old TV a Plasma TV by chance? I've played on a couple different plasma TV's and always found they had an amazing smoothness to them that you can't get on any LCD.

Firstly, cool monitor. Good choice.
Next, it's important to understand what each thing is doing. V-sync syncs your card output to your monitor refresh rate, so, since your monitor is 60hz, which essentially means it outputs 60fps, trying to output at 130fps means more than half the frames are being thrown away, which means your system is working twice as hard as it needs to.

Just set your FPS limiter to 60 and turn off V-sync.
Everything should be fine and look better.
If not, maybe you have a background process (a virus/trojan) that you need to take care of

So i always turn VSync off, tried one time to tryout if its anything change, but nothing changed, so i turn it off. my old TV was a LCD i guess (same hardware like my new monitor, only different Asus have Reaction Time of 1ms, the Toshiba TV do more i think (its a TV, not a PC Monitor for gaming). I set now the FPS Limit on 60, its better but i got the same lags. The only few Programms i run together with Rocket League are: MSI Afterburner (to set the FAN Speed a little bit higher), BakkersMod (to see the MMR after Game), Discord or Xbox App to chat with my mates and sometimes Medal (to record little gameplay clips from 15sec) <--- but at the moment i doesnt use Medal, because my FPS lag.

What im wondering is, that the problem comes since i got the new monitor, and only on PC, on XBox One i got nothing.

Turn off discord/xbox.
Medal recording is probably causing problems. You need a better processor if you want to game and do a lot at once.

Turn off every background process and see if it fixes the problem. If so turn them on again one by one until you find the problem. If you are still having problems and you're only running rocket league, then you have a virus.

Even if i try to turn off some backup processes it doesnt help me at all. Even the Processes doesnt use much of my processor-power. I dont got any viruses at all. I almost think there is a problem with my HDMI-Cable, i change some settings of my monitor and it helps a bit. Maybe a new or better HMDI-Cable? Idk really but i can try. Actually the problem must be on the monitor or the cable, like i said, before it worked well with my tv.

Have you tried downloading the proper driver for the monitor? I know most people never do and just use the windows default one but it can be a good idea, especially since the ASUS VS278 has a bunch of extra stuff for gaming which might help you fix the issue.
The drivers and tools can be found here. https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/VS278Q/HelpDesk_Download/
Also, of course, try it with a different TV/monitor if you can and if you buy a new cable, you might prefer to get a diplay port cable, instead, since that will perform better and I believe that your new monitor and your graphics card both have the ports. Make sure to check first though. Good luck.

I loaded one driver for the ASUS Website, but never try another one. I'll try thanks
