Video all jumpy.

[-RYknow]

Hey guys. System I am having an issue with is in my sig (main rig). I recently downloaded the latest video card drivers from AMD and installed them. I was happy to see there was a lot more options to choose from in the Catalyst Control Center. However, since upgrading drivers video playback on youtube is jumpy and laggy. When I move the mouse around while the video is playing, the video will freeze for a few seconds. Not really sure why? Hoping that someone will have a suggestion...

Obviously Youtube videos aren't the end of the world for me, but my almost two year old daughter loves a few of the childrens music videos on there (bingo, row row row your boat, etc.). I want to be able to play them for her, smoothly.

Should I just switch back to the default drivers that show up in Ubuntu's "Additional Drivers?" The current Catalyst Control Center I have installed is version 2.13.


Thanks,

I would say reset your OC and see what happens.

It actually sounds like a timing issue. When I was doing the water cooling, I would experience similar symptoms which usually meant my "stable overclock" was actually quite shakey.

I noticed it particularly with ram timings but I would say save your config, reset to default and see if there is any change

I will try your suggestions, but I think my OC is very mild. I'm using stock RAM timings, stock RAM voltage (passed Memtest86 for 24 hours), and I'm less then stock on CPU voltage I believe. Vcore= 1.1.8v IMC= 1.20v. She runs Prime95 (blend and large FFT's) for 24 hours and passes with zero errors and climbs to a high of 63C.

Just install Minitube. It's free in linux and handles youtube with ease.
