Yeah, I see what your saying, and this makes me think my monitor isn’t working correctly when trying to connect via. Freesync because I’m getting bad stutters by trying what you say!, I’m probably getting 30-40FPS normally but the stutters are there however by doing the half refresh rate, I’m getting it so smooth and I suppose it’s what you can put up with what counts to me as I can fly with my sim being like this as the smoothness is great!
Have you got a similar setup to me?, if you let me know what you have as your control panel setup I could give that a try and see if my system performs better, however I’m a happy chappy with how my system is at the moment
