my response is that adaptive sync, similar to vsync, is going to give you that smoothness. works for me on my LG 27GX790A

the gamescope piece i get, good work there.

right, turn off adaptive sync and you’ll objectively agree on the impact

the result is the same, i should’ve said “adaptive sync is similar to vsync”

it is still the primary reason for a smooth experience.

It syncs the output of the graphics card with the display Similar to vsync in that you’re telling the software/source to sync with the display; adaptive means it’s not a fixed frequency/framerate

Developed by VESA, Adaptive Sync adjusts the display’s refresh rate to match the GPU’s outputting frames on the fly. Every single frame is displayed as soon as possible to prevent input lag and not repeated, thus avoiding game stuttering and screen tearing.

Adaptive sync is vsync, that’s why you’re getting a smooth experience

Is there any reason youre forcing gamescope? Just works for me without any tinkering and the same gpu.
