It's fixed? or atleast it's found! This time for real

Attention folks!!
I think I finally found what is wrong for majority of the people who complain about input lag,
Floaty aim, heavy swamp mouse, heavy keyboard, blurry pictures etc,
It's not electricity.
It's related to VRR.
For people with gsync/freesync monitors and nvidia cards, I want you to check out something.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/community/demos/
https://us.download.nvidia.com/download ... C_1.13.exe
Download the gsync pendulum demo, makes sure you have setup gsync properly and can enable it in demo.
Open the demo and click the simulate 60fps option. do you find any stuttering?
In my case I had major stuttering even though my frametime graphs were flat.
That means there was something going wrong with the monitor.
So, I did a frequency sweep from below VRR range at 20fps to above VRR range until I found I had no stuttering at 60fps. you can do this with the fps sliders. I think most of the improvement comes from setting the fps as low as possible, maybe some sort of buffer memory is cleared this way.
press Escape to exit.
After this I found the heavy mouse cursor feeling gone and the videos/moving pictures became much clearer, the heavy keyboard is also gone.
I guess what I am doing is sort of re-calibrating the VRR in monitor?
So if the issue returns you can just redo it until engineers find a fix.
There are lot's of people posting here and I understand that they all might not suffer the same problems.
But this should be simple to do for most folks.
About AMD I think the process should be the same but, I don't know if you can get the gsync pendulum demo to run.
My Relevant hardware:
- Monitor -- Gigabyte M27Q (AMD Freesync Premium), Before that I had an Acer B227Q that also had uncertified Adaptive Sync. both had the same issue.
- GPU -- Nvidia 3060Ti connected through Display Port.
If you have VRR capable monitor, you should definitely look into it even if you are not enabling gsync / freesync.
