Im not sure if the title of this post is the correct wording for my problem, but its the closest thing i could think of.
Basically i bought Starwars Force Unleashed 2. I noticed some overlapping frames, in the cinematic and in game. Its almost like the last 1/3rd of my screen has to catch up with the top 2/3rds of my screen when rendering graphics. Its not the first time i noticed this. It happens in Heaven Benchmark and some other games as well. Have never noticed it in WoW, Starcraft 2 and Civ V. Only FPS games. Its also not SOOO BAD that i cant play the games. Just kinda annoying.
[edit] in Heaven Benchmark its doesn't happen as often as in Starwars FU2 but when the scenes change and the scenes fade into the darkness u can clearly see something isn't right, its not smooth as it was with my GTS250. Its jittering and almost as if the scene doesn't fade out evenly.
I used to use the Catalyst 10.10d(e?) drivers for my card, then got the 10.12. Was hoping it would sort itself out in 10.12 but it didn't.
Card is not overclocked, have done some "slight" overclocking on it but never pushed it to its limits or anything and this was happening since day 1 when i bought it. Temps on card is normally around 75ish digrees depending on the game and when benched it gets to about 83digrees max.
Never ever happened on my previous GTS 250.
I bought my 6870 and sloted it in my MIS G31 mobo. Later upgraded my mobo to a Gigabyte P43 mobo. Made no diffs.
Anyone else know of this, is it a faulty card or is it normal (???)? OR could it be something to do with Windows 7 x64 or what?
I's fairly sure the card must be faulty, but even if i get a reply to this post to confirm this, how do i prove it if i want to return the card and get a new one?
Oh and for those who don't always bother to read the full article clearly, i have a Gigabyte 6870 as in my sig
[edit] also v-sync doesn't fix it, happens with it on and off.
