I have a 165 Hz VRR-enabled monitor, with Adaptive Sync set to “Automatic”. When playing games that run at below half of whatever refresh rate I currently have set, games run with severe stuttering. The FPS monitor built into my monitor shows that when this is happening, the refresh rate of my monitor is constantly going high and low; If I’m playing a game with a 60 FPS cap, for instance, the refresh rate of my monitor will be constantly switching between 60, 120, and 165 Hz.
