Choppy/laggy motion on high fps

Post by dystopia11111 » 16 Mar 2025, 21:26

Hello! I have a really weird problem that has been happening for a year now.

My games (any game, but i mostly play cs) get really choppy unless i use gsync + vsync + low latency mode. Capping the frames does not help (low latency mode caps it but if i do it manually it does not get better). I tried 2 different monitors, 4 gpus (1 amd 3 nvidia), 2 motherboards, 2 mice, 4 versions of windows. Somehow on an amd gpu, just capping the frame rate manually helps almost all the time, but since it was a really old gpu, i couldnt really test it against my 3080.

It just started on a random day and i cant unsee it now. I play on a 180hz ips monitor. Right now i have a 5600x and a 3080.

I am planning to buy a 7800x3d and a zowie dyac monitor, but since the games are unplayable without gsync + vsync, i would not be able to enable dyac.

It absolutely does not matter how much fps i have. I can have 800 fps and still be choppy like 60hz. E.g: league of legends 500 fps and the camera movement is still laggy.

I cannot figure out what the problem is and i cant find much people having this issue. :(

When you say a random day, was over this past weekend?
If you go into a game and use a controller to move the camera, is it smooth?
I've been having similar stuttering issues on any framerate since probably the 15th, and I built a new computer to fix it and its still happening.
Could you also use something like RTSS and check the frametimes to see if the graph is smooth or stuttery?
I've yet to find almost anyone else noting anything similar except when you say
the camera movement is still laggy.

I have this issue where its not smooth when I move around with my mouse but smooth 1000% when using controller. Is it smooth for you when you use a controller? And u
