Good FPS but games do not look smooth.

[Wormegg]

The problem is this: No matter what FPS I am getting in a game, it will not have that silky smooth look as it should, instead it appears slightly jittery. When I first built my computer it was fine, however, at random it started. Over time I have tried to replace parts of my PC in order to fix it, hoping to find the one causing the issue.

So far I have replaced:

•  
• GPU
  CPU
  Motherboard
  CPU Cooler
  HDD
  Case
  Monitor
•  

Current specs:

• i5 4690k
• Corsair H60 Cooler
• Asus HD7970
• Asus Z97-A
• WD Caviar Blue 1TB
• Define R5 Case
• Corsair CX600

 

None of these have fixed the problem, and all that is left of the original PC is the power supply. I only replaced the CPU and Motherboard yesterday, and all together I feel like this is costing too much money, and so I need a fix.

One thing I have noticed reduces the effect is V-Sync, however, It is not a fix as I want to play without it, as it adds a blur and input lag. Also, if I am in an area in a game where the is not much to render, the effects are greatly reduced!

I haven't been able to fix this problem myself, and I am really desperate for a fix, so any responses will be appreciated! Thank you.

Can I get specs of your computer? 

[OnekillWalter]

can you make a partlist on pcpartpicker.com please? that would be really helpful.

[thekeemo]

try turning on vsync

!ship

how can you expect us to help if you don't even provide any specs?

which games are we talking about would be helpful too.

[Wormegg]

Sorry! I'll add then now!

[Gachr]

Tried reinstalling Windows? Drivers? lol

[Majestic]

You replaced the entire computer?

Fairly sure you just need to vsync games. They will always run less smooth without it on. And it does not create blur, input lag is detectable, but even then the amount of difference is so tiny a normal gamer should not feel it. It's probably some sort of placebo effect as it is with many.

Is it your internet speeds?

Here you go! Thanks for taking an interest http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vJdtqs

Oh yeah, and it affects every game. The only time I can see smooth again is if I watch a 60fps stream or youtube video.

Thank you, thats very nice. i don't see any problem with this build. maybe that Amd gpu is too much power hungry for that 600w psu, but id be suprised. can you also provide a screen shot of your temperatures? cpu and gpu.

[Wormegg]

Almost, not the PSU. Everything else though.

this is not the case. When I look at other people's pc they are very smooth without V-sync, mine is not. My computer used to look smooth too. It is no a placebo as people can notice it when they look at mine. Thanks though

This was an issue with my parts I replaced with these as well. I upgraded to this stuff one at a time to try to fix it incase a component was causeing it. It happened with my old GTX560Ti as well. The only component left form the original computer is my psu. I don't want to buy a new one untill I am sure it will fix it as I have spend a lot of money, and it is still not fixed.

Might sound stupid, but have you tried a different (video) cable

[TheGamingBarrel]

Do you have V-Sync enabled?

before changing the psu, If you havent done it yet, i would simply try to reinstall windows. save your data, format everything, and start with a fresh clean installation.

Not stupid at all! I tried it myself Hahaha! But no, it hasn't worked Thanks though

Never in my life have I seen a smooth game without vsync on unless it's pushing past 200fps. All vsync does it output a frame to the monitor at the same time the monitor refreshes. When you don't have it locked you are getting multiple frame injected to each refresh. The screen tearing becomes a factor and you also lose that frame buffer, so if your gpu does not output a frame or skips it you will feel microstutter. Going beyond 60 will also not actually give you more than 60fps in front of your eyes because you will only see as much as the monitor can output. So if it's not that than I can't possibly help you.

have you tried reinstalling windows? it sounds like a software issue to me

Try playing around with settings in CCC - things like triple buffering etc

I would actually advise resetting things to defaults. it should work fine at default settings.
