Hi, So, I have a 144HZ monitor and since I'm very sensitive to stutters, I like to make sure the game has as close to perfect frame-pacing as possible. Cyberpunk 2077 would for example always run @ at least 60fps on my rx 6800xt on 1440p, which is why I wanted to lock it to that. Unfortunately I found FreeSync to feel a bit stuttery, since it doesn't seem to work precise enough. I encountered the same issue in games were I could get 144fps, but instead locked it to 140 to decrease input lag while still having v-sync on. In those cases the refresh rate would go from the high 130's back up to 144, and thus introducing stutters as well. Here's a video which shows my issue well enough I hope - do mind that I filmed it with my phone, since the monitor's OSD isn't visible through recording software on my PC. EDIT: monitor - 32GK650F FreeSync Premium certified

No, you cannot use Freesync and V-Sync together.

No, I don't have information about whether your monitor is freesync certified.

Yes, disabling v-sync also achieves the same effect. Your monitor model https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/ad2c13d2 should accommodate a VRR range from 48 to 144 hertz.

Have you adjusted the graphics options to a different quality level? It seems you're using fullscreen with the display settings correctly configured.

Sure, everything stayed the same. Yes, fullscreen mode and FreeSync are enabled, which is why it's hard to tell what I could do.

This problem appears consistently across every game. I notice it too, even when the monitor is turned off.

Have you checked using Task Manager on your second screen and noticed any differences during the stutter while playing on the first one?
