Question Refresh-rate is set to 165hz but feels like only 60hz ?

[sevan1400]

So, before this starts, I am on 165hz. I have checked multiple times on multiple different stuff, and my monitor is 100% on 165hz.

On Nvidia control panel it is on 165, on my display settings, even in my monitor settings from the side buttons it is on 165hz.

this is my problem. I am on 165hz, but whenever I play FPS games, it feels like im on 60. The game is super stuttery, and I have choppy gameplay, but very high fps.

I also did this star hz test, and I can see the 165 frames perfectly, and it is very smooth. However, my games feel much like the 41 fps or 83 fps one.

I'm not really sure how to fix this, and I've researched for continous times, and can't find an answer. I have updated all my drivers, switched wires, im on display port, I have done everything needed but for some reason, this is still happening.

What games are we talking about here? Also, what GPU are you working with?

Any shooter games, and literally any game. Any game I play, it's like this. Not just shooters, but even stuff like warzone and apex (idk if they are considered shooters lol)

My GPU is Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 Ti, and I did the pc benchmark test a couple days ago, and everything is fine. I even have a new fan, and my tempatures are low.

My pc doesn't have any problems, my fps is fine. My GPU and CPU are compatible, the problem is with my monitor, and i'm just not sure why.

Does the frame rate feel smooth if you try any other refresh rate?

This is most likely caused by a memory issue or some kind of driver

Freesync on or off? Adaptive v-sync enabled on gpu or off?

Another thing of note is are you running some sort of FPS counter, or are you just going by perception? Because it's one thing if the FPS counter is reporting a lower frame rate, it's another if it's reporting something much faster.
