Don't know what to do
Is this gameplay problematic because it feels essentially unplayable, and I don’t understand the issue?
My system details:
Vega 56
i5 8400
16gb of 2133mhz
500gb ssd
Adjusting settings doesn’t help.

The description of "unplayable" is unclear, but it seems to refer to something that doesn't appear to be functional or usable in the video.
I assume the reason you couldn't hit the enemy with the sniper was some abnormality but watch your own video to confirm what we're seeing, I don't see anything from watching it. Maybe your free sync/G-Sync settings or a video cable/monitor issue? It looks like plenty 'o FPS to me.
There was a noticeable increase in frames per second near the one-minute point.
Hey, we've discussed this before. It seems like you're repeating it just to see how your system handles it. Since you're using a 75 Hz display, removing the FPS cap and adding extra frames will likely cause stuttering due to CPU limitations. You'll notice your processor reaching full capacity when the cap is off.
Turning off VSync and setting your FPS cap to 75 is the right approach. Your performance will be normal and great when you cap it at the monitor's refresh rate (which you mentioned). Any frame rate above 75 on your screen is a waste of resources.
An i5-8400 is a solid CPU, but pushing FPS without limits can still cause bottlenecks—especially at higher refresh rates. If you're aiming for around 130 FPS, cap it between 90 and 105 using MSI Afterburner. This will help when switching to a 144 Hz monitor.
If screen tearing becomes an issue, enabling VSync might help, though it can add input lag. If you're using a controller, v-sync is worth considering for your 60-75 Hz setup, as I haven't seen any noticeable lag.
Performance varies across games and map areas, especially in multiplayer. FPS can drop to the 90s on certain maps or levels. Higher RAM speeds might help, but it's not a guaranteed fix—your experience with DDR4-2133 is still solid. Upgrading to a Ryzen CPU would be a bigger concern, but for now, your i5 is fine.
Your gameplay looks normal overall. Just cap your FPS at the appropriate levels depending on the game. On a 75 Hz screen, 75 FPS is ideal. Switching to a 144 Hz display will make a noticeable difference.
Upgrading your monitor isn't the best idea right now because prices are still high. But when you find a good deal (around $120–$150 for a 1080p 144Hz model), it's worth considering.
