TLDR; MSI Afterburner's 'Power' & 'Power Percent' causes very bad 1% Lows to the point that it completely stutters your game. Therefore disable them, likewise:
This was tested by other people in this reddit thread, Dannyz (YouTube), my wife and I's respective gaming PCs (5950X & 3950X). My 5950X & 4070 Ti Super was struggling against huge mobs in Path of Exile 2 for the past two weeks since launch to the point where I had to lower all settings. But even then, same bad Lows and stutters persist even if I go 720p.
This all changed when I ran into Dannyz video, linked above and confirmation from other testers in the reddit thread linked above as well. I implemented their suggestions on both rigs at home and voila: my frametimes had been immaculate, 1% Lows are upwards of 110+ fps, no more stutters and GSync is functioning fine on the highest settings for PoE 2. I have yet to test other games but I am confident it will do the same thing: give me a smoother and better gaming experience.
