Low FPS and Refresh Rate in Games

When I was on PopOS Cosmic I ran the game just fine and it was buttery smooth. I had to switch distro to Endeavour because of fullscreen issues with almost all other games on Cosmic.

Now that I’m playing on Endeavour, the game is not running at 240Hz. It’s very noticable. I’m getting a solid and stable 60 fps but it’s really stuttery at 60Hz.

I have my xrandr refresh rate set to 240, I don’t really know what to do…

I just tested out Subnautica and I’m getting way lower FPS than when I used PopOS and my refresh rate is again lowered…

I am on i3 version.

I should add that my specs are as follows:

9800X3D
64GB RAM @6000Mhz
7900XTX

I found the culprit to be picom. Killing it before launching a game resolved the issue.
