Also I used some blurbuster tools such as the vsync one. I see alot of red and cyan, why is that? https://www.vsynctester.com/

I have no idea what I'm looking at but here. https://imgur.com/a/X5oNK92

This page has a full description of this test and steps to fix browser animation stuttering. This is the reason why you see a lot of red and blue.

Thank you. I did try and check but I'm too dumb to even begin to figure out the steps I need to take.

IMPORTANT: Close all applications & close all other browser tabs;
Close all RGB system tray software & other inefficient background software;
Close all CPU Monitors & Task Manager. They sometimes creates a red spike every second;
Use primary monitor only, or use single monitor mode instead of multimonitor.
Use "High performance" power plan if using a laptop, and select your highest performance GPU;
If using Safari, turn off "Prefer Page Rendering Updates near 60fps". See supported refresh rates;
Refresh TestUFO if running for long time. Use Ctrl+R keypress or restart the browser;
For 360Hz+ convention demos stuttering after 5 minutes, use automatic refresh (&kiosk=1 in URL);
Verify GPU acceleration is working. Verify chrome://gpu. Also, some renderers was buggy (e.g. Vulkan in 2023).
Visual Frame Skipping Indicator: If you enable this indicator, you can visually watch for skipped frames to see if skipped frames co-relate with spikes. Successful browser frameskip self-detection is usually only relatively reliable with certain compositors (e.g. Windows + Primary Monitor). When a frameskip occurs, you will see erratic magenta/cyan color flicker instead of a steady flicker (at low Hz) or steady color (at high Hz). Alternatively, use the separate Frame Skipping test too.
NOTE: The Visual Frame Skipping Indicator should not be used by flicker-sensitive individuals.

The goal is to reduce these spikes in the chart.
Don't do everything suggested at once. The goal is to find the reason causing these jumps.
Most often, this reason is the software you install.

Don't try to make the graph perfect.

Thank you. Good news is I disabled everything and I think the result is perfect now https://imgur.com/a/i17C92c
Bad news is I'm stupid and didn't do one at a time. To be fair I only ended around 3-5 processes in task manager. I will restart my PC and start again one at a time.

edit: i restarted my pc and did the test again without disabling anything, its the same result I posted above. So I guess everything is fine now?

It's up to you to decide whether everything is okay or not. If you see less blue and red, then you are going in the right direction.

Awesome. I have one last question. When I have vsync enabled via nvcp sometimes it doesn't work for my game unless I manually find my game within the nvcp and enable vsync that way.
Does it cause any problems having it enabled globally and when I select the game in nvcp to enable vsync also? Not sure how it works really.

Thank you.
