Help with G-sync and stuttering
Posted: 02 Oct 2018, 04:09
Hey everyone, I watched this forum for a while and tried so many different things but couldn't fix this thing by myself so I am here seeking for help.
This is my current setup: 1st monitor Asus Rog Swift PG278Q with Gsync 144hz, 2nd monitor HP 22es monitor 60hz, Ryzen 5 2600x, Gtx 1080 Armor OC, 16 gb ddr4 3000Mhz. Both monitors are connected with display port cables to my GPU (for HP is use a an hdmi to dp cable)
And this is the problem I can't fix: damn stuttering in the only 2 games I play. I mostly play CS:GO and Rocket League and I think with my setup I could run both easily, I have basically the possible lowest settings in CS:GO and almost the lowest in Rocket League (I keep world detail on performance, texture in quality, particles in performance).
I am playing with G-sync on, Vsync on in NCP, v sync off in games, using their in-game fps cap limiter at 141. What happens is that every X seconds, at random, my fps (using the steam fps counter in game) drops from the 141 to 130/135/137 (sometimes CS:GO reach 120 and something) and I have an horrible "mini stutter" (Sorry I am not a tech guy, I am trying to explain with my words T__T) where the game freezes for 1 second and then it goes back to normal. I have setup the Gsync indicator and it says it's on, I have tried playing both of the games with Gsync on and Vsync off and uncapped FPS but 1st thing I am too used to the smoothness of Gsync and the games look ugly and my eyes hurt after 10 minutes and 2nd on CS:GO it still happens that it randomly drops from 250/280 fps to 144, and here comes the "mini stutter" again.
I have tried so many different nvidia drivers but things could only get worst, the only one that doesn't give me that problem is the 378.92 and I read somewhere that's because it doesn't support the new version of WDM in Windows10 (Sorry again If I am saying any tech blasphemy) but it's unstable, it crashes with new games, and sometimes also with Rocket League. I have disabled hardware acceleration in Chrome because I heard somewhere it could help but didn't fix my problem at all. I have disabled/enabled fast boot in win10, tried the "disable full screen optimization" option in both of the games. I don't know what else I could try. I heard that it might be because of the dual setup monitor with different refresh rates (60/144), do you think buying a 144hz as 2nd monitor will fix this? (Even I feel so dumb at the idea of having a 144hz just to watch Twitch and youtube videos or for my twitch streamings) Any ideas?
Thanks everyone and sorry for my crappy english :X
