Choppy movement

[thejamiel]

ive been playing Battlefield 3 and i noticed when i move my gun or cursor, its a little choppy. when it should be smooth. it is difficult for me to point the crosshairs on an exact target.

i do not think that it is a frame rate issue. i use fraps and it's at a solid average of 45 frames even when it's happening..

I have a AMD 6850
the resolution i play on is 1920x1080 60hz on high

CPU is AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE 3.2ghz
gigabyte GA-970A-D3 mobo
8g ddr3 1600 ram
650w PSU
windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

my suspects:

maybe the mouse as in a dpi issue? im not too sure im new to PC gaming
its almost like its skipping some dots or pixels. and it makes it look choppy or skiddish.

i ordered a new mouse and it should come in tomorrow so maybe that will fix it.
i do not recall it doing this for the beta.. and when i play Arma 2 its smooth.

OR

maybe it has something to do with drivers? i built my PC before the beta.. and installed the newest drivers.. then the beta drive for BF3. and now i just installed the newest driver for the retail game..
the problem did not happen with the beta driver
i was going to uninstall and reinstall the drivers. but i was wondering. which ones i should get. i think the only ones i have are 11.10

would i need to install them in order?

like i said these are my guesses. i would hate for it to be my actual graphics card. this is the first time im seeing this..

Any ideas on how to fix the probelm?

I have the same problem with 6970+6990 trifire. Choppiness even at over 100fps.

My guess is this is due to BF3 being the glitchiest, laggiest game I ever played. And AMD drivers being crap. My advice would be to wait. And to complain loudly in the BF3 forums.

try it in lower resolution.

 

[thejamiel]

i think i tried it at.. 1600x900? and it still did the same thing.

i'll give it another whirl though.

then there issue with game, does all of your games running laggy.

 

[thejamiel]

no before this i played arma 2 and it runs perfectly smooth, deus ex has no problem either, and the BF3 beta didnt have this problem either

i tried it again and no progression.. same choppy aiming

 

[pro-gamer]

how much fps you getting.

 

[thejamiel]

av is 45, occasionally drops to 38 .. and it even sometimes goes above 50. but it doesnt change when im looking around or aiming. usually sticks to 45-46. high 40s

 

[pro-gamer]

try to install fresh os might be it help.
but 45 is enough and the gameplay is smoother with 30 fps

 

[pro-gamer]

did you installed latest driver

 

[thejamiel]

hameem get your own thread!! haha jk but seriously try Battlefield 3

on a more serious note, my drivers are up to date.. i was gonna uninstall and re install them but was wondering if i should get diff ones. i only have 11.10s maybe i should start with 11.9 and the caps. idk tho.. like i said im new to the whole pc gaming and video drivers and such..

i was gonna maybe uninstall the latest driver and see if that does it because the BF3 beta did not have this problem.

exact same issue here on my radeon 6850. i run it at 1440 x 900 and i get a good solid 49 - 55 (overclocked) fps and its still choppy when i move my pointer around...
