Hey Guys, i posted this in the general forum, but didnt get much of a response.
I wondered if you could help me troubleshoot this problem.
I have a 3850 (see sig) and ever since i first overclocked with my x38, when playing games involving a lot of panning, the frame rate runs fine but it seems when scrolling the game shudders or jitters- ie its not smooth. This is not a lack of frame rate jitter, but instead the kind of regular jitter. Like something is holding the Card back.
Ive manged to repeat this with catalyst 8.4 and higher and still exhibit the same problem.
Even when reverting to stock settings on my rig, the card acts the same.
Has anyone come across this before? Sometimes it seems worse than other times..
I have checked:
Temps. Card is 70 Load, 52 idle.
PCIE Bus. Locked at 100%, confirmed by SetFSB
Drivers: Used 8.4 and upwards all with the same issue. Also set to performance profile. Same issue.
Games: Tried on all RTS games (where a lot of panning is involved) and standard stragety games.
Age Of empires.
Ceaser IV
Spellforce 1 and 2
Company of hereos.
The problem only occurs when panning from left to right or right to left. Not when panning up and down!
Can anyone help with this frustrating problem?
Cheers
