I have noticed this in some games where my monitors framerate counter will spike to 144 hz when playing. It causes a bit of stutter. What is causing this. Ill have my fps locked to 60fps, it will fluctuate around 60 but then suddenly jump to 144 and I get a bit of a stutter whats going on? This only happens when I use freesync. Monitor - AOC 24G2

My framerate spikes. And the monitors framecounter jumps to 144 at random times. I so if locked at 140 sometimes it jumps to 144. Even locking at low framerates i notice issues. The monitor frame counter fluctuates a lot.

When I use freesync I notice stuttering and sometimes even tearing (rtx 3070). I am using the cable that came with monitor itself. When I run the Gsync pendulum demo it runs fine but every game I test runs worse with freesync. I know my monitor is not compatible with gsync. But it did work flawless with the pendulum demo. My question is could it be the included cable being of a lower quality? Or is it just the compatibility?

I am just curious, how would games that output aground 60 FPS look in 360 hz or 240 hz monitor WITHOUt gsync/free sync. would there be tearing or stuttersif vsync was enabled?

no the cpu is a huge bottleneck i think. 9600k is a weaker cpu when you look at the cpus that are out now adays.

oh sorry, black ops coldwar. Its not fluctuating a lot, its just couple of fps like 117-122hz but i am wondering if a locked 120hz is better. 9600k dual channel ram 3070 I don't have any issues i think its normal

I am playing cod locked at 120 using rivatuner the line is flat. But my freesync monitor is still fluctuating a bit. Is this normal or should I just use fixed refresh?

I switched to the GM 650 and it still had the flickering I think its because of the game itself. But I still feel comfortable with my purchase since the psu was 456 watts and had a low tier rating.

I thought Zen 2 uses 7 nm while intel uses 14nm. Shouldn't Zen 2 be way better?

I just bought a 650W I hope its enough. Thats whats recommended anyways.

Just switched to the seasonic GM650. But isnt efficiency the other way around? Meaning I am assuming a 456W PSU would draw 536 W from the wall @ 85% efficiency, Am I wrong?

Ok thanks a lot just purchased a cx650M on amazon. Can you explain the tiers? Are there any downsides to buying a low tiered unit? Plus what do you mean by 85% efficiency? why do you think it will be drawing at 85% efficiency?

It only happened at high power consumption at around 350 wattts. You don't think its the PSU? I just plugged in the GPU. Is DDU necessary? Ill use it now. The flickering didn't happen in other games.

What are the risks of having a low tier PSU?

I believe my PSU maybe underpowered. But idk how to determine what i need in terms of psu requirements.
