G-SYNC not working properly.

Talk about NVIDIA G-SYNC, a variable refresh rate (VRR) technology. G-SYNC eliminates stutters, tearing, and reduces input lag. List of G-SYNC Monitors.

It's just that the games don't really feel smooth at around 70-80FPS , but if it's above 90 it's smooth as butter.
With VRR on a high refresh monitor, anything under the 85 range starts to feel visibly sluggish and less smooth. This is unfortunately unavoidable, as it is 1) due to lower framerate (less updates per second start to become very noticeable around the 80 mark on high refresh monitors in VRR mode), and 2) due to the direct, repeat contrast between <85 and 85> framerates during VRR operation.

E.g. if you play at a locked 80 or 70 or 60 for a while, as long as it stays solid at that level, you'll acclimate, but let it bounce between that and higher framerates, and you'll be directly reminded of the difference on a continual basis.

If that's what you're experiencing in this case, I'm afraid there is no "solution"; lower framerates look like lower framerates, G-SYNC or no G-SYNC.

G-SYNC can only smooth out the transition between very high and very low framerates, it can't make less updates per second look like more. For that, we would need something like mainstream framerate amplification methods (something not readily available yet), which no doubt the Chief could expound on. For the here and now, you can lower your settings for a higher average framerate.
