i have a gsync monitor. the omen 27x. ive tried with gsync on and off and not really noticed any difference. im not complaining about screen tearing, its almost like im just not seeing half the frames...as if theyre dropping or something i really dont know how to explain it

also one thing i found interesting is that when i turned the sync on and capped my in game fps down to 60, my screen was showing it was at 165hz...its almost like my GPU and screens arent communicating properly?

If FPS and refresh rate aren't synced, you arent using Gsync

Hey, did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same issue with my pc and Fortnite. I’ve even upgraded my motherboard and cpu and am still having the issue. I’m running a 3080ti and an i5 12600k and my Fortnite feels like I’m seeing about half the frames it says I am. Even if I cap it to 60fps…it looks insanely bad and gets unplayable in any situation where there’s a lot going on. I’ve tried on both my screens so I know it’s not something wrong with my screen. I’m just starting to think somethings wrong with my gpu. Please help!

Im having the same and thinking it’s the psu maybe. I have this pc for 3 years and first 1.5y no lag. After that my fps was still good, but feels like 80 or something. I also tried a new gpu and cpu, didn’t solve the problem
