Stuttering even with freesync

Hi, 

 

I'm having micro stutters while gaming, specially in CoD BO4, R6S, TW warhammer. 

 

When running afterburner i can feel even the lowest FPS drops, and frametime spikes and the stutter is felt. 

 

Its like freesync is disabled although its enabled on the monitor and GPU. 

 

It happens like every 10 to 15 seconds. 

 

I have 4790, RX580 8G, 16GB DDR3 1600MHZ, LG 29uc88 refresh rate 75hz.

 

Thermals are fine, am running freesync with frame cap to 73 and vsync on or off. 

 

I tried also to use chill but games became sluggish.

free sync doesnt always kick in, every monitor has a free sync range and you must first make sure your monitor has free sync, if it does your probably operating outside of its free sync range if you still have micro stutters.

I forgot to menrion that im running within the freesync range 40-75hz at all times, freewync is enabled as per the monitor settings and radeon settings.

Plus side to freesync is, when in the freesync range it feels better smooth.  Downside is, above the range tearing is horrible (you fixed this issue) and when it falls below the range it feels even worse.  I want to say 48-75FPS is the range for freesync 75Hz.  To verify, check here: https://www.144hzmonitors.com/list-of-freesync-monitors/

Get the windmill demo to ensure free-sync is working

You could try setting your monitor's refresh rate down to 60hz to see if that fixes anything. Otherwise it may be a driver issue, could try an older or newer one..

 

Or reinstalling windows is the quickest solution to potential software issues.
 

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
