Micro stuttering when FPS below 60

Play in 1080p60 to see it how it actually looks when I play

So the framerate in the video is around 40, about 55 when not recording. Anyways if you look closely you can see how unsmooth it looks when I move the camera around. Why is this so common in PC games? On a console 30FPS looks buttery smooth but on PC it feels like it's skipping a lot of frames. I've tried playing around with settings but none of them got a significant performance impact, keeping a stable 60FPS is impossible in this game, there's just too much detail in some areas. My PC specs are in my profile btw. Anybody got the same problem here?

Turning Vsync off in the game helped me get rid of that problem. If you want to have Vsync, only have it on in nvidia or amd control panel.

Its a odd one as i am running at max settings @1080 really smoothly, until for about 2 minuets every so often its starts to stutter before sorting its self out to start stuttering again hours/minuets later

Ok I've set the Vsync to half, it limits FPS to 30 but it seems like it get rid of the stuttering, I don't understand how all of this works at all :(.

That's exactly what 40 frames look like on a 60hz monitor., nothing wrong with your game.

 

Consoles probably look smoother because tv's are designed for lower frame rates, also a controller makes you feel more detached from in game smoothness (if you play a game at 30fps with a kb+m vs a controller you'll know what im talking about), and possibly because you sit farther away from the tv compared to your monitor.

 

-edit- in that case maybe because the framerate is more stable at constant 30fps then? I have no idea.

So either I play at 30FPS locked but with a slight input lag or I play with no vsync but with frame skipping. Guess the only way get a stable and smooth 60FPS is to get a high end hardware then.

 

 

Did u do the latest 15.4 driver update?

Yes, I waited all day long before a launch to install it. Edited by DlZZEE

Watch the beginning of this video:

Basically 30fps has more consistent frame times than 45 or 55fps, and might looks smoother.

Thanks for a video, I kinda understand now a little bit more about refresh rate and vsync.
