Hello Everyone,

So, whatever games I play on my PC, they look choppy even when FPS is above 60 FPS. Games on my PC look smooth only when FPS is around 120Hz and above should be due to the high FPS. I've followed every step found in the guides on YouTube and the online articles to enable G-Sync-Compatible, and I've tried two different monitors that support FreeSync Premium but the issue is much the same.

I've also enabled the G-Sync Compatible Indicator from Nvidia Control Panel to be sure that it works for every game I play. The indicator shows up already on games but still, games look really choppy.

Why would I say that games look choppy even while enabling G-Sync-Compatible? I made a video while I was gaming and limited the FPS to 60 FPS, then compared it to another video.

Please watch these two videos and you'll notice the substantial difference between my PC and that other PC

Please note that the VRR issue I'm facing is much the same in every game I play, not only the demonstrated game

Here are my PC's Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600

GPU: GTX 1080Ti Founders Edition.

RAM: 32 GB Hyper X Fury 3200MHz CL16

SSD: Crucial P3 1TB

Monitor 1: Samsung Odyssey G5 1440p 144Hz FreeSync Premium Monitor

Monitor 2: Dell Alienware AW2521HF 240Hz 1080p FreeSync Premium Monitor

Windows version: Windows 10 Build 19045



Things I've tried:

1-Capping FPS using RivaTuner Statistics 4 frames behind my monitors max refresh rate

2-Connecting to a DisplayPort and Enabling G-Sync Compatible through Nvidia Control Panel

3-Enabling V-Sync through nvidia control panel



If anybody knows anything about this issue. Kindly lend me some help.



Thanks in advance.
