Unplayable lag when monitor has freesync enabled.

[Glennh]

Having Freesync enabled in the AMD drivers causes stuttering in games, it seems to happen most when the chaperone gets activated and there is a GPU frametime spike.

Steps to reproduce stuttering:

1. Have a Freesync monitor with Freesync enabled(AMD driver > settings > display > Adaptive sync compatible on)

2. Open Pavlov stand in the menu and move around activating the chaperone, when the GPU frametime spikes the game stutters. Or join a big 20 man server to really feel the lag.

3. Restart SteamVR then disable Adaptive sync compatible in the AMD drivers and try again, for me I still get spikes when the chaperone activates but I don't get the unplayable stuttering anymore.


My hardware:
GPU: AMD 5700 XT drivers: 21.9.1
CPU: 3700X
Monitor S2719DGF 144hz freesync
valve index
Windows 10 steamvr beta

I found the same issue, and seemed to resolve when I just toggled the AMD driver control panel Freesync (Adaptive Sync Compatible)
I was having this issue, and upgraded to win11, thinking it would go away and it did; Until I turned on Adaptive Sync Compatible.
I reported this bug to AMD as well through the Radeon control panel (AMD Software: Adrenaline Edition)
