60fps not looks like 60fps on ThinkPad T580

I have ThinkPad T580 with i7 (vPro model) and MX150.

 

Today I tested Counter-Strike 1.6 on in and I have feeling that my screen is broken somehow.

 

I tested those caps: 60fps without vsync, 60fps vsync, 100fps cap, unlimited fps.

 

In all cases it not looks like 60fps. I do not know how to describe it, but its kinda laggy (stutter) but FPS are good (almost same as when I play CS:GO at home on 1070Ti PC - 200+FPS).

When vsync enabled, besides huge input lag (what is expected :D) It also not looks like 60Fps.

 

It does not matter if I have 60 or more it still looks like choppy 40...

 

Any ideas what causing this? I not tested different (external) monitor but I am almost 100% sure it is not by hardware.

 

I also found out that I have like 400fps on iGPU and "just" around 200fps on MX150 what is supposted to be more powerfull. LoL?

Check the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel and make sure that Display Power Saving Technology is set to Off (Disabled) and that the refresh rate switcher is off and that the refresh rate is 60 Hz and not 48 Hz or something like that. These options are under Power in the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. Make sure that you adjust them for both the Battery and Plugged-In modes.

Are you trying with or without the charger connected? If without, try it with it connected.

 

If you have another monitor, can you try it with that monitor?

Your display is probably at 40hz, change it 60 in display adaptor properties.

I only see your reply if you @ me.

Does any 60 FPS video looks like 60 FPS one?

Yes, its seems fine, but not that fine as on my PC's cheap 60Hz monitor (Maybe just fater pixels on that one)
