I solved the problem, and you won't believe what it was. It turns out after days of frustration that the screen was too bright. Once I turned brightness to 0 and contrast to 26, the shaking mostly stopped. Thing is, my old monitor was also turned down to 0 brightness, which is why it didn't...

Ok yes, it's definitely the monitor and not my PC. I switched out the PC for my previous one and the same shaking happened at different resolutions and sizes. So no point in testing out the PC any longer. It's definitely a monitor issue. I will hopefully be able to exchange it at Best Buy...

Does that mean I will need to play all native 720p videos or lower at a really small screen size (like the default size in this thread) in order for them to play smoothly? Or is there some settings I need to tweak? YouTube and other streaming sites auto select 1080p for me. And when I change it...

Not sure what you mean by forcing. I use auto settings usually. It makes no difference anyway. Regardless of settings all videos shake (online or offline) except the one I linked above and my ME2 gameplay at 1080p. BTW, the YouTube account whose video is in my last post has 2 other similar...

Thanks for you reply. I will try your recommendations and check the specs again once I get home from work. In the meantime, check out this video. For some reason it doesn't shake for me like all the others. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_hjLlFbBC4 Also, I am playing Mass Effect 2...

TBH, I am not sure what all of those settings are or where to find them. Freesync - I do know it's a GSync compatible monitor and that it's turned on. refresh rate - Refresh rate is 165hz at 1080p (that's the max refresh rate and resolution). I tried turning down both just to test but no...

I guess it would be more accurate to say that outlines/shapes on the screen shake or appear to move around when the camera pans or a person/object moves. I uploaded a short video to YouTube that shows the effect. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_J9Uxsa5gQ&ab_channel=ChrisC And again...

Thanks for replying. I updated my post w/ additional specs. Also, I checked display adapter properties and it said I already have the latest driver for the monitor. In Task Manager CPU usage is steady at around 13% during playback (no change during the shaking). Speed is also steady. By...

I am not sure how to describe my problem exactly. Every video I play (online or off my hard drive, regardless of resolution or refresh rate) has shaking of objects in focus when they are moving or the camera pans. The shaking (if that's even the right term) is worse the faster the object or...

OK fair enough. Like I said, i am no expert. I've just read lots of threads that start w/ "i have a high-end PC why am I getting 20 fps on this game from 2008" and so on. And the responses tend to be essentially that these old games aren't compatible w/ the latest CPUs. And that's the...

Yes i'm looking at older rig due to playing lots of classic games (2008-2010) these days. New CPU's tend to have issues w/ older games from what i've read, but i'm no expert.

Great thanks. And which video card would you recommend from the 3 options available?

Also, help me decide on the best Video Card option out of 3 available for each and if I should take the Wireless Wifi Option. Thanks in advance. Choice 1: Processor Intel i7-4790 Up To 4.0Ghz Mother board Asus Cooling Intel Cooling Memory 16GB Boot Drive 500GB SSD Storage Drive 1TB Hard Drive...
