Hey guys.
So for the longest time i've had a problem with 120fps on my 120hz monitor.
It's an odd situation, so i'll explain.
Some games i achive way over 120 fps, (left 4 dead 2, team fortress 2, DmC) so i wanted to lock my games to 120fps as y'know, 120hz, 120fps is the best option.
Heres the problem that comes along doing this, it doesnt matter the method in which i lock the framerate, and this is gonna sound weird but it kind of micro stutters/very very quickly hitches in some areas in games or depending on whats going on.
Example being DmC, i can be in an open area fighting some demons, and the fps fluctuates from 120, sudden goes to 118,117 or 119, usually 119, and i get this slight stutter, it happens every now and then not always but its a bit of a nuisance.
The annoying thing is, locking the game at 60fps, this problem doesn't happen, why? i have no idea, but if i'm constantly spewing out over 200fps in DmC for the entire time and suddenly lock it to 120fps, it wont have any of that? yet 60 is fine?
same goes for Left 4 Dead 2, same goes for TF2.
I had issues with stutter on these games so i moved them to ssds, didn't help.
Checked temps, temps are A ok. No overclocks, MEMTested for over 10 hours with no faults, everything running smooth as silk.
So why on earth does this happen, i really have no clue and it's kind of frustrating, i can achieve high frame rates yet the game decides that i dont deserve it? Theres nothing i can pinpoint this to.
Dishonored also does this, which is annoying as the game whilst stylized isnt exactly a powerhouse and runs at over 150 always.
Anyone got a solution? i'm pulling my hair out over something that really doesnt make any sense.
