Experiencing stuttering at 120 frames per second?
Experiencing stuttering at 120 frames per second?
I've observed increased stuttering during gameplay with V-Sync enabled. With a 60Hz monitor, disabling V-Sync reduces screen tearing but causes noticeable lag. Today I turned it off due to the stuttering, even though MSI afterburner indicated the game was running at 120-150 FPS. The issue might be related to my monitor's age, which is five years old. My system specs include an Intel i3-7100 RX 580, 8GB RAM, and a Samsung SSD setup.
The build isn't quite right... A 2c/4t CPU with 2133mhz memory isn't sufficient for the RX 580. Your stuttering might be due to the CPU being overworked, especially when handling multiple tasks. Would you like to enable Triple-Buffered V-Sync? How's your operating system performing? You could try running DDU in safe mode and reinstalling the AMD Radeon drivers from scratch.
You can adjust Radeon settings to cap the frame rate at 120. Consider upgrading to an i5/i7 or switching to a Ryzen processor.

Based on my knowledge, framerate capping often leads to noticeable stuttering or tearing. On a 4K60Hz display, lowering the cap to 60fps usually improves stability compared to V-sync. I remember seeing similar issues with older GPUs like the Pentium G4560 paired with GTX 1050 Ti—smooth performance on lower settings but noticeable hiccups when boosting to GTX 1070. The problem seems tied to system balance rather than just the display. If you're using Radeon hardware, trying FastSync might help, but it won't work for your setup.
As I mentioned before, I haven’t experienced any personal situations where framecappers worked well. Have you thought about it that way?
