New Framelag after OS reinstall that won't go away
Posted: 12 Jun 2021, 10:40
For some reason after I reinstalled windows 8.1 today, my monitor is now permanently jittery no matter what I do. I have no idea what happened but now it's just significantly worse than before. There was much more obvious microstutter despite settings being the same as previous installs and various nvidia driver version were properly cleaned and reinstalled. I tried Windows 10 OS and I had the exact same type of framelag/microtearing on the desktop and in-games no matter what.
I reset my motherboard, reset OS, reset all the bios settings, reinstalled multiple different OS multiple times, tried a new display port cable, tried re-seating GPU, etc. nothing I do works. I now have a permanently worse microstutter for no apparent reason with the exact same setup as before I had it. There isn't even a display port on my motherboard so I couldn't be using intel graphics. I tried different nvidia drivers ranging from 300 series to the latest 400 series. I even tried plugging into different outlets but no difference. I reset my monitor to factory settings too. I tried turning off G-sync and using fixed refresh and I tried different refresh rates but it still feels horrible.
No matter what I do, my mouse is jittery and I get random micro tears and micro stutters in EVERYTHING. Even when I just scroll up and down the blur buster forums, I get noticeable horizontal micro tears.
It's ironic because I upgrade from my X99 system to avoid bad frame times and micro stutter only for it to be worse on my new 10850K system. I'm just so tired of it all. 5 years spent trying to diagnose this issue, thousands of dollars down the drain, multiple PC systems built and tested and no matter what I do I cannot get true frame smoothness and not only that, it just now randomly gets significantly worse than ever before for no apparent reason so now I wish I hadn't chased it so hard and got a new system. IDK what I did to deserve this.
My 8 year old 60hz laptop with an 760m feels and looks smoother than my current 144hz G-sync setup with a GTX 1080. Even though the mouse is obviously slower since it's 60hz, it feels infinitely more consistent and smoother and there are NO hints of any micro tearing or stuttering at all whatsoever. 60 fps on that laptop feels so amazing natural and smooth compared to my 144hz G-sync setup even with no framedrops. Even just watching videos on chrome and browsing feel infinitely smoother on the laptop. Any lagginess on the laptop comes solely from the fact that it is a 60hz laptop and not whatever weirdness is plaguing my desktop setup. It just feels right despite having lower refresh rate and I don't get nauseous when looking at it, unlike desktop setup which makes me nauseous with headaches after awhile regardless of which refresh rate I use. I don't know what's going on anymore and I'm so desperate for help.
