Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with openbox. However, cursory search suggests that openbox uses X11. I suspect that vsync is not working in this setup? Could you try and see if the situation improves if you use a wayland setup? |

That's what I thought. I'm not entirely sure, but this might be a bug in openbox. Generally, for frame throttling and avoidance of tearing, wayland is superior to X11.
