So played a bit of Firewatch yesterday, which is hardly the most demanding title ever - even though i like its stylized graphics, its truly pretty game IMO - and i realized that its not exactly super smooth. I had the Steam FPS counter on and saw the FPS fluctuate between up to 240 down to cca 50. Everytime there was a drop, even if for split second, the game would clearly stutter. Running with Vsync ON would not help either, cause even if the game would run at 60 FPS 99 percent of times, there are those moments, when it drops to 50 or i saw even 40 and it clearly chokes.
Similarly Deserts of Kharak, playing on top details, as its similar case as Firewatch, and scrolling around the map is everything but fluid, Vsync ON or OFF.
This kinda takes away from enjoyment, and its bit disheartening, cause its on gtx1080 and 4,2GHz BW-E, so i could not really do much better in terms of HW...i have to wonder if this is natural then, if everything is OK with my machine, as its fairly new, if its the games themselves or drivers... surprisingly Black Ops III multiplayer does not seem to struggle with this (luckily, as it would be unplayable otherwise) and Ashes of Singularity built-in benchmark felt pretty fluid to me as well...
Will the G-SYNC help with this? Even though i spent almost 3000 EUROs on brand new rig, i kept my oldish HP ZR24w LCD 1200p display... which i plan on replacing too in not so distant future. Should i look for Gsync displays then, if i´d like to help with this?
Thanks
