Odd Refresh Rate/FPS Behaviour

Hi, just want to preface this that I had this card installed on my machine last week prior to a complete Windows 10 reinstall, and it worked great. It's a new card for me.

Since the reinstall, I get this odd phenomenon where it's as if the refresh rate will change of its own accord, and/or I get strange FPS drops where I did not before. It's the same setup and configuration. I didn't change anything, and all the software is the same. It looks jerky, like jittery.

FreeSync is disabled.

I notice in League of Legends it almost always happens between the 5-7 minute mark (fullscreen, and borderless windowed), and in CS:GO it happens seemingly randomly.

I looked at my refresh rates, and they're set to 144hz with FreeSync and enhanced sync off globally and in profiles.

I also enabled the refresh rate on my monitor to display its value - for some reason it is 100% changing from 144hz to around 127hz.

I notice, too, that sometimes when I restart my PC, FreeSync will enable itself! 

I've already uninstalled these drivers with DDU. 

Any ideas?

A lot of people try to impose settings on various games and it does not work in practice.

Use in-game settings which will work 100% of the time.

I use an RX 480 8GB with a 4K panel so I need to tone down some games to be playable

Sorry, I am saying that I am doing exactly the same as I was prior to my Windows reinstallation and now there is odd behaviour with the refresh rate. It's very jittery. The refresh rate appears to be constantly in a state of change and the FPS immediately drop.

Sometimes an ALT+TAB fixes it for a few moments.

many games are not designed for anything above 60 Hhz which is the standard for panels

Mate, are you purposely trolling or just trying to get your post count up?

I've told you it was working well before a reinstall.
