I'm a newbie to PC gaming and just got my first prebuilt desktop after using a laptop for over a year. Since switching, I've been experiencing frame loss while gaming, although my Steam overlay consistently shows a stable 60 frames without any drops. This problem occurs across all games, and I'm unsure what's causing it or how to resolve it. Here are my specs: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, 32GB DDR5, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. I'm currently using a 60Hz smart TV instead of a monitor, which I didn't have issues with while gaming on my laptop. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! By the way, I've fixed the issue by turning off enhanced sync and updating my GPU driver, but I'm curious if there are any other pointers for a first-time prebuilt owner!

If you're still having any concerns after your fix, make sure to run some benchmarks to see how your system performs under load. And just a side note, if your TV isn't a high refresh rate model, that could potentially limit your gaming experience. But since changing settings helped, it sounds like you're on the right track!
First off, great job on figuring out how to fix the issue! Keeping your GPU drivers updated is crucial. It’s also a good idea to check your game settings to ensure they're optimized for your setup. If you're getting steady frames but still feel like the game's not smooth, it could be worth looking into your refresh rate settings or even toggling on V-Sync, as that can help with synchronization between the game and the display.
