Question Choppy/Sluggish FPS

[BeadyRoller]

Hi guys.

So I've recently upgraded my PC to a 4090, 7800x3D, 32gb RAM etc, proper high end rig. Installed on fast m.2 drive.

I get really good FPS but the games I have tested still don't feel smooth at all, I don't get stutters but everything feels choppy and it's like I'm dragging my mouse through mud, almost as if I'm playing at 30fps rather than 100 plus like it's saying. I've tried different mouse polling rates as well. I also feel every frame drop, so if it goes from 140 down to 120 I'll feel it happen.

I've messed around with GSYNC and Vsync but not much helps.

I have a Dell 1440p 144hz monitor with GSYNC.

Feel really disheartened as I've spent all this money and not getting the smooth gameplay I want.

Games I go on mainly are Escape From Tarkov and DayZ.

Any help would be really appreciated, thanks.

What were you working with prior to the upgrade? If you recycled your OS drive onto the new platform, you will need to reinstall your OS in offline mode and manually install all drivers with the latest versions in an elevated command.

If you performed a clean install for your OS, use DDU remove all GPU drivers(Intel, AMD and Nvidia), then manually install the latest driver sourced from Nvidia's support site in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

In terms of OS. I did move my m.2 with Windows on to my new build but installed Windows on my new 2tb m.2. I then formatted the old drive.

The weird thing is even though it's been formatted, in my bios it still only shows my old drive as a boot option even though I formatted it? Still boots in to Windows fine on my new m.2 anyway.
