I have a strange problem with my new 120hz monitor and i was wondering if anyone else has encountered it with any other make or the acer.
Basically when 120hz mode is selected a very small but perceptible "hitching" like effect can be observed every 2 seconds of so.It is most visable when using a strafe key in any shooter and say looking along a line of trees in crysis for instance.Now im well aware of all the so called micro stuttering issue that people have been talking about but here comes the real odd part.
Selecting 110hz also causes the hitch but its much less frequent i.e every 5 seconds or so.Selecting 100hz completly cures it but every 20 to 30 seconds an odd tearing effect happens that looks like the display updating or something.This last effect occurs even with v-sync on,although its not always noticeable and MUCH better than the hitching.
My system consists of 2x5870,win 7 64-bit,acer GD245HD monitor,i7-920 o/c to 3.78ghz and 6 meg of ram.ive tried catalyst version 10.2 to 10.5 with no change.Ive tried vsync on/off triple buffering on/off ,ive even tried putting 2 crossfire bridges on
.
If i was to guess it seems like some sort of syncronisation problem that gets better the lower the hz go(60 hz is perfect).Its as if the montior or video cards cant display quick enough and thus a small delay is produced while either the video cards or monitor "catch up" so to speak.I know this sounds like nonsense but the effect is so perfectly timed (every 2 seconds) that i spent ages looking for some program that might be "polling" which usually accounts for hitching/stuttering effects,but i can rule that out cos if i lower the hz its fine
.
Ive tried the usual suspect of disabling x-fire and yes im using the dual dvi lead that came with the monitor all to no avail .
Im gonna have to try it with my mates gtx 275 and see if the same happens,it will prove if its monitor/card related.
To any one else who would like to try and see if theres does it i would advise using a non analogue style of input to allow perfect fluid motion(no point using mouse)then get to a point in a game and use strafe while looking at a wall/line of trees,this is where it is at its most noticeable.
Oh and just to add it can be seen in windows also,grab a small window and do circle like movements with the mouse and clearly every 2 seconds a small stutter occurs,not devastatingly bad but once seen annoying as hell.Again,dropping to 100 hz gets rid of it.
Sorry for the long post
,but its been bugging me for a few weeks now and id really like to know if anyone else has witnessed it.
