Is it sluggish or does it just trail like that? It could be as simple as updating your drivers.

 

[Monkey D. Luffy]

I don't think it's a driver problem, it happens when I reformat my computer
It happened before I reformatted and my drivers were like half a year - 1 year old.
and it trails like that, (Kinda like lag)

What kind of monitor do you have? It could be a refresh rate problem.

 

[Monkey D. Luffy]

Samsung Syncmaster 2494HM 60hz

I just ruled out the monitor, plugged it into my other computer and there's no problem like this.

 

[pro2a]

It seems indicative of a refresh problem.

It never hurts to reinstall your drivers. Sometimes with a new GPU you can get issues like this. I've been surprised by doing this before.

Also try this.
Open your ATI settings > Displays > Config > set EDID to manual and your max resolution to whatever your monitor supports. Set your refresh rate to something else higher then it is currently and apply.

Just a side note, How are your CPU and GPU temps?

 

[Monkey D. Luffy]

Ati only allows me to get 60 Hz (max for monitor)
and i'm using 1920x1080 resolution which is also max

As for setting EDID to manual, i'm looking through the AMD VISION Engine Control Center and I can't find anything with EDID

Try this link. It might help you navigate through it better.

Okay doing EDID didn't do anything either.
Another input is this seems to be a problem with Windows Shadow because if I disable "Show Shadows Under Windows" then this problem no longer happens.

What can you interpret from that?


Edit : Seems "Show Shadows Under Windows" isn't the cause of the problem, It is confirmed that whenever AERO is on (even with shadows) the problem is gone, but if AERO is off the problem occurs

What do you guys make of this?

 

[pro2a]

Your guess is as good as mine. As long as you found a workable solution, I'd say stick with it. Maybe someone can be more of a help with whatever aero is.
