60 FPS but not smooth.

[Loney94]

Hi guys. I got a problem with the game. I run witcher 3 on stable 60 fps but despite that game doesn't seem to be smooth. I'd appreciate any advice You can see that on the video I made (watch in 1080p). Im gently moving mouse to left and right and it should be smooth, but it's nat. When I played more than half year ago all was ok. Sorry if it's wrong place for this thread. There's a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0twz89ir-A

I got vsync off and fps limit to 60 but if I change to unlimited frame rate it doesnt help at all.

CPU: i5-3570
GPU: GTX 970
GOODRAM 8GB DDR3

Have you tried with vsync on?
It should smooth your experience out somewhat.

Yea i've tried. It looks the same. Can it be HDD problem? Cuz when i played half year ago i had different hdd. Now i got WD 1TB 7200obr. 64MB BLUE. But i don't think it's HDD causing this.

 

[Petrossa]

As you assume, the HDD would not play a role in what you are experiencing.
Are your graphics drivers up to date?

 

[Loney94]

Yea, the newest one. I have no idea why it's happening. The funny thing is that when i play on gamepad all looks smoother.

 

[Petrossa]

Perhaps it is related to your mouse input then, rather than graphics drivers/screen.
Try setting the mouse settings in the game setting to smooth the mouse movements out.

When I lowered mouse sensitivity a little it looks better but still didn't absolutely solve the issue. Generally mouse itself is fine i've tried before on 3 different mice. How about monitor?

 

[Petrossa]

Nah, monitor should not cause that either. If anything you'll see more blur than anything, not jagged tearing like that.
You using a high resolution mouse?

 

[Loney94]

What does it mean? High resolution mouse?

Is your mouse a gaming mouse or just a "regular" one?

To be fair, 60FPS isn't smooth to begin with. Aside from my elitist comment, have you tried other games to see if there's an issue? Also, check your refresh rate in the Nvidia control panel. I'm assuming you have a 60Hz panel, but is it set to 60Hz in the Nvidia control panel? If it's set to 30, then there's your problem. Additionally, turning off v-sync will result in screen tearing if your FPS surpasses 60, so the screen tearing itself may make things feel "unsmooth."

Now why did I not think about the Nvidia Control Panel?
Oh right, probably cos I don't have issues

It's steel series rival, good gaming mouse

It's set to 60Hz and its not a screen tearing. It seems more like little jumps from frame to frame.
And thanks guys for your time
