@ M.Yurizaki I tested the Gsync app and the stutter is bad
I even tested the Freesync app and same result but that could just be because of the apps are clashing with the 2 different technologies (freesync monitor and Nvidia card)
The anomaly is that my monitor can only run @ 75hz when freesync is on. on my R9290 its smooth but on the 1080 it stutters when i try and run it @ 75hz and yes 60hz is 100% smooth but not as smooth as 75hz.
It is very strange that when I plug the screen back and forth from amd to nvidia the stutter goes away on 75hz. this blows my mind. I just wish that there is an easier way to maintain the smooth 75hz on my 1080 without swapping back and forth after every restart or shutdown.
