Hey there,

First of all, ty for taking some time to read this.

My problem is that i'm having high FPS in nearly every game but yet the games still look super choppy/jittery on my monitor.
I've tried multiple Benchmarks already which all scored as high as my Build should.
The weird thing about this is that when i try to stream games to twitch using OBS. They're looking perfectly fine for my viewers but yet ever worse on my screen. We're talking about 70-120 FPS here depending on what game's being played.

The Games i usually play are:


  • APB: Reloaded [worst]
    CS:GO [fine]
    Battlefield 3 [okayish]
    Evolve beta [horrible]
    H1z1 [horrible]
    DayZ [medium]
    Arma 3 [medium]

I've just wrote how i experience performance in each game withing the [].


My Build is:


  • Cpu: i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz [Idle: ~25°C, Usage: 50-60°C]
    Cpu Cooler: Corsair hydro series h80i
    GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 Gaming
    Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97 D3H
    RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB @ 1866MHz
    SSD: Samsung 840 120Gb
    HDD: Hitachi 2TB x2, Seagate 2TB
    Monitor: Monitor: Acer Predator GN246HLBbid @ 1080p @ 144hz
    OS: Win 8.1 64Bit

And here are some screenshots of test i got recommended to do so far.

Thanks in advance for any answers and sorry for my bad english.
 
Just tried playing H1z1 on a 60hz monitor i had laying around here. Same result as before so it's not the monitor. It averages on about 70-80FPS but yet still looks horrible. When i set it on high it's okayish, but on ultra at the same fps, it's not playable.
 
Hmm, well, what could be affecting frame time? Are you running utilities or other software other than the game, and only the game, and only the OS? Is your streaming software running any sort of hooks into the graphics driver or anywhere else even when not in use? Are you running chat software, have the Steam overlay enabled? Anything at all that could possibly conflict, even if you don't think it would?

Do you have the HPET (High Performance Event Timer) enabled in your BIOS? I've seen odd results on occasion surrounding this little feature. I would recommend you try it both ways and see what happens. Leaving it on should be just fine, but for the purposes of troubleshooting I would try with it off.

Does your graphics card have an overclock on it? Try with the clocks dialed back, just in case.
 
Do you have the onboard iGPU disabled in bios?

Also do you have any power management enabled, are you overclocking the Gfx card.

And lastly, are your voltage's on the 12V line fluctuating at all, this could lead to your GPU throttling.
