Very jittery screen on some games (Hd 5770)

[damithagg]

Please help me figure out what is wrong

I have a 5770 installed and I am running all of my games at max settings at 1680 x 1050 (samsung syncmaster 2220)

My pc is:

i5 750
Gigabyte p55 ud3
2x2 ddr3 1600
saphire hd 5770


The problem I am having is that with certain games (first person shooters) where the mouse is used for turning. I have very very shaky jittery screen. I am also getting a weird rippling effect on the screen. The two games I tried it on were borderlands and bioshock 2. Fraps says my FPS are between 45-62. When I play Dragon age origins which is not controlled by the mouse everything is fine (runs 45-60fps). Sims 3 also seems fine runs 74-125fps (but it also has the ripple effect). I have used driver sweeper and reinstalled the latest version of the drivers from ATI website.

My mouse is a Microsoft 5000 series wireless mouse (1000dpi).
My monitor is a samsung syncmaster 2220wm (1680x1050)

Could it be my mouse or my monitor....or is it a bad card. Its only a week old so I can RMA it. If you have any theories please let me know. Or even better if you know what the problem is let me know.

Try changing the sensitivity on your Mouse.

I tried that but the problem persists. I also tried the games using a less sensitive wired mouse (400dpi dell mouse) and it was still shaky. Do you think buying a higher dpi mouse will help?
