High FPS, but doesn't feel like it.

[DEL 707]

Here are my PC specs.

Ryzen 7 Eight Core 2700X 4.35GHz (Socket AM4) Processor
Gigabyte Aorus GA-AX370-Gaming K7 AMD X370 (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
Gigabyte Radeon RX VEGA 64 WindForce OC 8GB HBM2 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Team Group Dark Pro "8Pack Edition" 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit
Super Flower 850W Power Supply
Samsung SSD 850 Evo 1TB - All games are installed here.
Toshiba 2TB P300 7200RPM Performance Hard Drive (HDWD120UZSVA)

Running on 2 monitors.

MSI Optix G24C - Main monitor which I use for gaming, via displayport
Asus VG248 - Connected via DVI

Here is the problem I'm experiencing in quite a few games.

I'm getting a constant 120-121 FPS, but it doesn't look smooth at all, it looks like it's under 60 FPS to me.

Any ideas on what I can try to fix it?

OP, you need to be a bit more specific. What is it that makes it feel less smooth than what the fps would suggest? is it blur? is it stuttering? Something else?

Not sure if this helps but worth a go. Seems good for me. https://youtu.be/K1N4vV5BSoI

How's your temps, nothing throttling?

Make sure your monitor is actually running at 144hz

What about when you disconnect the monitor you're not gaming on, what does it do then?

While in game alt-tab out to desktop and start task manager.
Do you find a process called gamebarpresencewriter.exe?

1. In the meantime, type disk cleanup in win10 search box.
Delete as necessary however, you want to check off Directx Shader Cache
Select Ok to clean. Open it up again to make sure it reads 0 now.
How large was it for you any way?

2. Open AMD Radeon Software
Click on the gear icon on the upper right
Select Graphic
Scroll Down
Click on Advanced
Scroll Down some more
Select Reset Shader Cache

Try game again.
