High framerate; But isn't "true" 60fps.

[peanutreaper486]

Recently, I got a new GPU; EVGA's GTX 770. I was hoping it would eliminate my issue with my games having a high framerate, but not being smooth.

With the 770, while my average frame rate has gone up by at least 40% in practically every game,(Including the infamous Saints Row 2, but that's for later.) but it isn't...well, smooth!

Using this website which compares 30 fps vs 60 fps, the demo here is actually entirely smoother than any of my games play. This is also consistent compared to my peers' video game performance.

This is awfully confusing, and I'm surprised that the 770 isn't helping here.

Thank you ALL for your helpful tips and possible solutions.

I'm glad to finally experience real 60hz. After 3 years of gaming on PCs.

Perhaps in a few years I'll try 120hz.
