Samsung Odyssey G7 43" choppy gameplay at less than 70 fps

[chaerilus]

So i bought this monitor after i upgraded to a 4090 and this is probably one of the worst monitors/tv i had to deal with honestly but after settings everything up and finding solutions to all the problems, everything is working fine, g sync is on, low latency mode is on ULTRA and Vsync is ON in the NVCP and im using the monitor on 120hz instead of 144hz because the ghosting is unbearable.

Now all games run fine but the moment a game gets around lets say less than 70 everything starts not looking smooth and its like im on 40fps or something when im moving my camera around, i can never explain it properly since i never found anyone with the same problem as me, i play with a controller always btw. And idk if this is a monitor issue or a gpu issue honestly. Games like cyperpunk and witcher 3 where im MOST of the times getting above 60 fps the games would still look bad at times since for me anything less than 70 and the closer it gets to 60 even if it doesn't dip below that looks like utter garbage.

Now my only theory right now is that since this monitor isn't gsync "certified" and its just a freesync monitor technically, and because of that g sync doesn't work properly. And i hope thats what's causing this issue because im planning to buy the LG OLED C4 when it comes out which is a certified g sync panel and hope that fixes this issue. Does anyone think its probably the monitor or is something wrong with my pc thats causing this ? mind you when im above 90 fps everything runs perfectly smooth.

I honestly tried so so many things, i did things that no one has ever thought of probably. I looked in the deepest parts of the internet and absolutely nothing worked. it HAS to be this monitor

some settings i have on this monitor

connection: Display port with the cable that came with the monitor
Local dimming: High
adaptive sync: ON
VRR: OFF because when i turn it on everything becomes not smooth, like i see duplicated frames not sure how to explain it. it just looks garbage.
also even though VRR is OFF it still says its ON in the Game hub HUD of the monitor or whatever its called

my old monitor was basically a samsung TV 4k 60hz and i had no issues running my 4090 on that so now im pretty positive its probably the monitor and not my gpu

I have same monitor since March 2024, and I completely understand what you mean. Monitor itself stutters, and while stuttering goes even Tizen menu stutters and also colours becomes "bloody". This is ABSOLUTELY monitor issue. While trying to fix it by my own ways and I became paranoid. I tried EVERY potential solution (service menu tweaking, VRR control ON-OFF, CRU edits, different cables, Freesync ON-OFF, tweaking voltages, everything) There is nothing you can do about it if you have this BS TRASH MONITOR. Still using same bs monitor, 2 days ago they released a new firmware and its now even worse. Still waiting for dual mode monitors to reach my region's retailers. Btw while reading other's comments in this thread made me MAD AF, never seen this level of ignorance...

My HONEST ADVICE to whoever reading this; NEVER, NEVER BUY SAMSUNG MONITOR EVEN OTHER MONITOR BRANDS USING SAMSUNG PANELS.

After G70NC, I am ALWAYS looking panel manufacturer of specific monitors I liked. If panel made by samsung it is no more in my wishlist. I recommend everybody to do this if you don't want to have headache after 3 month usage...


Also for those who's trying to affiliate this problem to PC components, leaving some of my specs below.
-i5-14600KF
-RX 6800 XT
-16GB RAM DDR4 3600CL14
-NVME SSD

I got the LG C4 and i never been happier dude. That odyssey 43inch is really quirky, but i think the reason why 60-70 fps looked worse on that is the response time. The “normal,fast,extreme” settings, where as on an OLED it’s instant response time and thats makes the biggest difference.
