I'm facing a really annoying problem while gaming. Although I'm getting high and stable FPS, the gameplay just doesn't feel smooth. It feels slightly choppy or has some micro-stuttering, particularly when I move the camera around. Here are my specs: I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU, an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, and I'm connected via HDMI to my monitor (model yet to be specified). My FPS rarely drops and temperatures seem normal, but it just doesn't feel right. I've already tried reinstalling NVIDIA drivers, disabling the NVIDIA overlay, switching to DisplayPort, and checking the BIOS/XMP settings. Has anyone else experienced this? What other things should I check to resolve the issue?

What are your ping and latency like? If you notice that choppiness when moving the mouse, it might be related to a network issue. A high ping can also impact how smooth everything feels, so check your connection too!
Have you checked your monitor's refresh rate? Sometimes it can be set to 60Hz rather than a higher rate like 144Hz or more, which can cause that choppy feeling in your games. Make sure you're running at a higher refresh rate to match your high FPS!

Yeah, that makes sense. I'll look into that and see if my network is stable.
