Issue with Gsync causing minor FPS reduction – need assistance.
You're dealing with some unusual performance issues on your 165Hz Gsync monitor. Despite following the Blur Buster setup and adjusting settings like VSync, disabling VSync in-game, and using RTSS to cap FPS below the refresh rate, you still notice stuttering when your frame rate drops. It seems Gsync doesn't always eliminate stutter during FPS fluctuations. The fact that you can hit 250+ FPS with high-end hardware yet still see frame drops when capped at 162Hz is puzzling. You've tried almost every possible fix—restarting Windows, reinstalling drivers, changing cables, disabling antivirus, closing background apps, updating BIOS—but the problem persists. What might help is checking if your monitor's refresh rate settings or driver configurations are misaligned with your display capabilities. Consider testing with a different game or adjusting your input lag settings to see if that resolves the issue.
Avoid setting the FPS manually; switch to ultra-low latency mode. This will automatically cap FPS 5-6 frames before the screen refreshes.
I recently adjusted the settings by disabling the FPS cap and enabling low latency, but the performance issue persisted—FPS dropped significantly and stuttering continued.
Avoid stuttering with G-Sync; it ensures a seamless drop from 100 to 80fps. Do you use a DisplayPort cable?
