My games refresh rate seems buggy and it drops by a few frames

[BosnianKnight]

Whenever I'm RO2, Medieval 2 or Mount and Blade my screen looks the same as when someone is blinking fast. It does not happen always but when it does it's really annoying. I've tried messing with the settings but I the problem is still there.

Post your dxdiag.

Post your dxdiag.

Ok, I've got it.

For one the pic shows zero. There is a button on the bottom of that screen to "Save all info". Save the file to your desktop, and attach it to your next post.

For two, bumps are not needed. We don't live here and will get to it when it Real Life allows.

Is this your monitor? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824236100

If so, did it come with a install disc? My LG monitor did but I finally had to get them off LG's site. This is all I see as of now.

Nice computer. It's better than mine but I can't afford the price difference.

Thanks bro, it had no disc inside the box when I got it from the PC store. I found the site and as it seems there are only two drivers to download, which one should I download?

Check online starting with the monitor's maker. There are other driver sites out there but it depends on how much you trust them. If they want money/credit card #, run.

All I've found is the multi screen software for it but I don't know how can it help. Are there settings in my computer that I can modify so I can fix this?

[irishron]

Right-click your desktop, click screen resolution, click advanced. you should see in there your refresh rate.

The dxdiag says 60Hz of which is 99.9% are. This would be to confirm. you may by chance in one of the tabs/menues your monitor or one close enough, too.

[BosnianKnight]

Yep, it's 60 hertz.

[irishron]

Are you using multiple monitors?

Unless your eyes are that sensitive 60Hz should be good for all programs. Is it all programs or just the 3D animation ones?

[BosnianKnight]

No, just one monitor.
It's just the video games so far.

In MSI Afterburner, what is the card's temp while playing M2?
Is the card overclocked, by you or factory?

[BosnianKnight]

It's never over 60C when I play all day, but it's mostly 50C.
It's factory overclocked.

[irishron]

Good temp, no question about it.
I wonder if the overclock is doing it to you. You can use Afterburner to set it to factory default and see if it makes a difference. A member in the Basement has a factory overclocked card playing with hie Mafia2 game.

I've actually done that, the same thing still happened.

[irishron]

Does it while reading this page or any page on the 'net?
Does it do it during balancing the checkbook or whatnot?

Can you borrow a different monitor to eliminate its possibility?

[BosnianKnight]

It does it only in video games it seems, the rest is fine.
Sadly, no.

[irishron]

Have you checked both cable connections?
Do you have a spare DVI cable to try?
