Hi all,

when I'm playing some computer games (specifically Pro Evolution
Soccer 6 and to a lesser extent Football Manager 2007) I notice that
there are times when the animation seems to jitter. This is quite
frustrating and I am looking for advice on what I could do to fix
this.

I know my machine has high enough spec for the games which I play so
it's not that. But beyond this I don't know what could be causing the
jittter.

Here's my computer's spec;

CPU: AMD Athlon 64bit X2 4200+
GFX card: Nvidia GeForce 7600GT
RAM: 1GB
Monitor: Relisys TL766 17" TFT LCD
Mobo: ASUS M2N4-SLI

Any ideas / pointers to what I could do?

John

Man i had the similiar problem with my Ge Force 7600 GS ,and since those two
cards have same GPU except the 7600 GS has lower clock i believe i know
solution to yours problems.So what you need to do is to upgrade your Direct
X to latest version.(Mind that Direct X.9.C has different versions).You can
upgrade it on official microsoft site.

I have uploaded picture of problem i had with mine graphics

Have you installed the AMD Dual-Core Driver 1.3.3.16 and the AMD Dual-Core
Optimizer? Some games stutter (CFS3 is notorious for it) on dual-cores.
These drivers usually fix it.

Thanks to both of you but I'm afraid none of your solutions worked.

I have tried,

updating DirectX,
updating the processor's driver,
updating the GFX card driver,
setting the affinity of the process to run on one core,
installing the dual core optimiser,
killing non-essential processes

but none of them even slightly reduced the jitter when playing the
game.

any ideas anyone?

How often does this happen? It looks to me like a tearing or texture
problem.Try enabling v-sync if it's disabled. Experiment with Nvidia
settings like AA and Aniso. in What driver versions have you tried?
