Why does this game look choppy if it’s at 60 FPS?

Why does this game look choppy if it's at 60 FPS? [SOLVED]

Hi. New Defold developer here.. I was playing the Sidescroller tutorial project and noticed that it seemed like the framerate was a little low. It's not unplayable but the movement of the stars is not at all smooth like I hoped it to be. I checked the project's update frequency and saw that it was set to 60. This doesn't seem to be consistent with what I'm seeing on screen so I wrote a little script in the GUI to display what the current framerate is. function init(self) self.score = 0…

Which is in fact not solved. I just repost it because I fear noone will see my comment in the “solved” thread.
Here is my comment that I left in the other thread:

I hope noone minds me bringing this thread back to life. I have the exact same problem running on Windows 10 with a Gefore GTX 1070 and newest drivers. Going to fullscreen fixes the issue for me aswell so it might also be a driver setup thing but is there no way to resolve this? I don't think I can expect any potential client to change his driver setup. An interesting addition: just enabling the visual profiler fixes the problem partially. Seems to run smoother immediatly but that's not reall…
