Question Death Stranding - FPS issues on high-end rig?

[Ootsymahdootsie]

I get a choppy framerate when I'm capped at 240 fps. But it's silky smooth when I cap it at 120 fps. In general, I'm able to reach an average of 180 fps, but it doesn't feel smooth when the in-game limiter is set to 240 fps.

The weirdest part is that this issue goes away if I'm using keyboard and mouse, even when capped at 240 fps. It only happens with a controller. I've turned off controller vibration, as I've heard that this can cause issues in this game, and I've updated my drivers. G-Sync and V-Sync are both turned on via NVCP and V-sync is off in-game.

Have you seen this? It talks of vibration like you do but there are other things. It's been over a year since this report.

I wouldn't be blaming your comp.

I tried that too, but no dice. I may just settle for a smooth 120 fps with a controller. Thank you, though!
