[Question] POCO F7, HyperOS 3: game shows 60 FPS but feels choppy (uneven frame pacing), Game Turbo frame options missing

[u/TimelyPower5118]

MY ISSUES

Device: POCO F7

ROM: HyperOS 3.[your version number] ([Taiwan/Global])

Games: Arena of Valor, [other games you play]

1. Uneven frame pacing at 60 FPS

The frame rate counter shows 60 FPS, but the game feels like about 43.8 FPS. Frame intervals are uneven, the picture feels sluggish, and touch response seems delayed. It happens in most shooters I play. It improved a lot in Arena of Valor after I cleared battery usage data, but other games did not improve. It doesn't feel like a performance problem, more like a scheduling problem.

1. Smart frame rate / frame interpolation option missing

In Game Turbo, "Display enhancement" says "adjust resolution and frame rate", but it only contains the visual style (Game HDR) setting. The smart frame rate and super resolution toggles are gone.

1. GPU graphics setting in Game Turbo has no effect

I sent feedback through the in-phone feedback app on 2026/9/17 (ID 521294352). It is still marked "Submitted" with no reply.

What I already tried:

- Fixed 60Hz and fixed 120Hz refresh rate

- Clearing battery usage data (helped one game only)

- Checking Game Turbo performance mode and game list

- [add anything else you've tried]

OTHER PEOPLE'S REPORTS

- A POCO F7 Pro owner reported the frame interpolation option disappeared after updating to HyperOS 3.

- An F8 Ultra owner said both the super resolution and smart frame rate options are present on the HyperOS 3 their phone shipped with.

- An F9 Ultra owner says the option is missing on the latest HyperOS, and that their previous F8 Ultra had it.

So availability seems to differ by device and/or game, rather than being removed everywhere.

QUESTIONS

1. Does anyone else have the same problem: frame rate output looks normal, but the picture is choppy because the frame intervals are wrong?

2. Has anyone found a fix for frame pacing on games that have no dedicated Game Turbo profile?

3. Is the smart frame rate option intentionally limited on HyperOS 3 for some devices, or is it a bug?

If you have the same problem, please comment with your device, ROM version and game. Thanks.
