Did u cap ur max fps ? i added a line in the config to cap it at 144Hz and read somewhere that this can actually cause fps drop. But, what am I saying? I will uninstall it tomorrow :P

I cap mine at 150, I would do 144 or 145, but OCD :P

It will lower your average framerate because it stops it from going higher, but hypothetically it should raise your average perceived framerate because it leaves some overhead so your FPS shouldn't drop below your refresh rate as much.
