| 1212858 | 2011-06-28 05:43:00 | I have had my DV7 for a week or so now however I have noticed when playing COD MW and WAW Zombies that there is a sort of cut in the video. From memory it doesn't happen all the time (maybe I just dont notice it) but its certainly persistent. If I look around a bit it will move up and down the screen, id describe it like the top and the bottom half aren't in sync or something like its 1mm out, it occurrs about 1/3rd of the way up the screen. Would this be a software problem (directx or the likes) or hardware? The card is a ATi 6770. Just wonderin since its going in for warranty soon probably I I thought it might be better to demand a whole replacement unit based on whats gone wrong so far. Might have got a "bad" one :mad: Ill try and get a screen shot or video but idk if it will show up in screenshot Cheers, TEG EDIT: yes I will get hate for having an HP :D |

| 1212860 | 2011-06-28 06:28:00 | Could it be a vsync issue? This is where the graphics card sends a new image to the screen before the screen has finished showing the last one which results in tearing or images. | gretag34 (16372) | ||
| 1212861 | 2011-06-28 10:37:00 | Fix by enabling Vsync in app + ATi Catalyst I guess? Will try driver update. got one from windows update a few weeks back but ill try full package from ATi site when I get home | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1212862 | 2011-06-28 10:51:00 | Yeah, it's sometimes described as 'tearing' - and is typically seen when there's rapid rotation of the view. As the others have said, enable v-sync, or lower some of the graphics specs to keep the frame rate higher. Resolution, anti alisaing and anisotropic filtering being the typical badies in the war for speedy graphics. |

| 1212863 | 2011-06-28 10:52:00 | if your ati drivers are out of date, the full ati driver update should hopefully boost your windows experience index gaming graphics considerably too :pf1mobmini: |
