Stuttering fix for nvidia users
Let's make it clear, this fix is for those who has stable high fps but suffers from weird micro stuttering and fps spikes that make the gameplay very unpleasant. If you got like 10 fps this will not help you, but you may try it.

1. Download nvidia inspector, if you not familiar how to use it look for tutorials, it is really simple
2. Find The Evil Within 2 profile (just type it in a seach field) and set Framerate Limiter to [~]61.8fps in Sync and Refresh section (don't forget to hit Apply changes in top right corner)
3. Run the game in fullscreen mode and set vsync to OFF in your video game settings
Also make sure you set vsync to 3D Application controled in your Nvidia control panel, forcing it will make stuttering go back.
Now, despite we set fps limit to almost 62 the game will run at smooth 60 fps if your hardware can handle it.
This simple steps fixed my micro stuttering issues for good.

Here I was thinking this would not solve my stutter issue with my GTX1080 even when having a solid 60. After doing these steps the game is now super smooth with no random stutter and slow downs, and my mouse movement feels less crap as well.

Thanks so much for posting this :D!

I just use Fastsync via Nvidia's control panel and Vsync off (in all games). Everything maxed at 1440p/60Hz with 3770k and a 1080Ti FTW3, zero issues.

its amazing the level of ignorance of some people. Nvidia themselves make it clear that fast sync is only for games where you have an extremely high framerate. they made it pretty clear that it is not for playing around 60hz and that regular vsync is better in that case. so many ignorant fools just enable that setting at 60 fps and are too damn oblivious to even notice it cause some hitching. but hey why listen to the people that developed the technology when you can just turn it on willy nilly and ignorantly suggest others do it.

Oddly though it works for all my games. No tearing, no stutter and no noticeable input lag. Used it without issue on my 980Ti before upgrading, again without any issues.

I guess you missed the short bus today.

and I guess you missed the part where I said you were oblivious which is clearly the case. stick to commenting on youtube where most others are just as clueless as you are.

EDIT: even on Nvidia's site it says "Fast Sync is designed to benefit games that are running with very fast native render rates (3 times or more the rate of the refresh on your monitor)."

Tom Petersen of Nvidia even said in a video that using fast sync at 60 fps would cause some problems and that regular vsync should be used. fast sync chooses a frame from a set of 3 frames in a buffer and if the framerate is low such as at 60 fps then there will be some stutter because of this implementation. how much and how often the stutter can vary from game to game but will happen.

AGAIN fast sync is only meant to be a used for high fps games like MOBAS and games like CS:GO.

Is this the same Nvidia that said here is a game ready driver?

No need to play ♥♥♥♥♥♥, read what I said. Fastsync works for me, no stutter. If you don't understand then get an adult to read it for you.

so again you are oblivious to the stutter, you midget minded ♥♥♥♥.

that does not change the FACTS about fast sync and what it was designed for and what the side effects of using it at only 60 fps are.

Please just get an adult to read and explain for you, I have no stutter. Indeed the last issue I had with stutter was back on the 970 which I got a full refund for after 6 months.

I could kiss you. Game is running ten times more smoothly. Thanks for the tip! The stuttering was making it really hard to get in to.

make sure you have the latest version of nvidia inspector, when you launch nvidiaInspector.exe check at the bottom if it saying there's a newer version. the version i downloaded from Guru3Dcom was old and it wouldnt work
