Studdering video

I have had an issue with studdering video, If I drag an applet across the screen it leaves a studdering trail. I just upgraded the video card and PSU, the problem still persists. I had on board video which was Ok but a little more never hurts, I put a Galaxy 9500GT in along with a Thermaltake 430 watt PSU. The video did improve quite a bit but the nagging glitch is still there, I have gone over all the video and memory settings in the bios to no avail. It is set to PCI express, the on board memory setting IMO should not have any affect it has me clue less any ideas appreciated.

Could be software, try another Harddrive, and make sure a fresh install of windows is on it to rule out your hardware. OR.......I always keep a Hirens boot cd, and use mini xp to test out systems.

 

Are you sure you're not just seeing ghosting that is an artifact of the monitor?

 

@ Abekl--That would mean a bad monitor right?

 

It could mean a bad monitor, but more likely just a monitor whose refresh rate is too slow to avoid ghosting when moving items about the screen.

 

Have you installed the latest drivers from nVidia for the 9500GT yet?

 

Drivers won't make a difference when it comes to ghosting issues - if that's what is really going on.

 

Hi yes to the latest driver off the Galaxy site.

I am running a Samsung 2233SWplus about a year old, I will swap the cable off my Sony flat screen to see if it has the same problem. If it does turn out to be ghosting is there any fix?

The refresh is set to 60hz fixed I don't think it can be changed.

No, only getting a new monitor with better specs.

 

Try the computer on your sony flat screen. If it does it there, then it is not a ghosting issue.

Out of curiosity, if you can bring up task manager, and click performance. Then while that is up, drag a window. Do you get cpu spikes?
