Dealing with image stuttering on Gigabyte RTX 5060 Windforce?
The screen was literally splitting horizontally during fast pans, especially when rendering huge clusters of buildings. My Gigabyte RTX 5060 Windforce was pumping out 85-110 FPS, but my monitor was locked at 60Hz, causing a total mess in the frame buffer. I first tried turning on standard V-Sync in-game, but that was a nightmare—input lag jumped to 40-60ms, making the controls feel like they were stuck in mud. I eventually went into the NVIDIA Control Panel, enabled G-Sync Compatible mode, and manually capped the frame rate at 58 FPS to stay within the VRR range. The tearing vanished completely, and input lag dropped to a snappy 15-22ms. I did notice some slight brightness flickering right after enabling G-Sync, but that went away once I tweaked the refresh rate to exactly 59.94Hz. GPU core temps stayed between 62-68℃. Everything feels fluid now after a few hours of rapid zooming tests.
