Can you test those games or any games at 2560x1440 60Hz and replicate the issue? Can you replicate the issue on a system with a newer Nvidia video card?
I've also tested at the native 2560x1440 @ 60hz with the same result. The game I'm playing is Battlefield 4, the GTX 970 is rendering the game on average at 120fps, I don't think its an issue with the PC or GPU as my old Acer monitor had none of these issues.
The U2518D is locked to 60Hz when set to 2560x1440 and 1920x1080. By allowing the GTX 970 to render above 60FPS, you are causing the tearing. Restrict the graphics card and game to 60FPS. Then retest.
If you want higher Hz and FPS, consider the S2417DG 165Hz, S2716DG 144Hz and the AW2518H 240Hz that support G-SYNC.
