Monitor lag?

[bdubb]

I don't have time to read 44 pages about the U2711, so here's a new thread that can be answered and closed in a few posts I hope.


Picked up a U2711 and when playing BC2 I get a lot of jumping, but my ping rates are around 80-100 and normally wouldn't jump with my old monitor a 2005WFP.

I read reviews from boths sides saying the U2711 was fine for games and some say it isn't. Trying to see if I should attempt to return the monitor or if there is something else I can look into fixing the issue with. I am running the game on all high settings and in 2560x1440. I'll try tonight to lower the settings and see if it improves or not.

Computer is a core i7-920 OC'd to 3.6, running 6gb of 1866 corsair ram, tri-sli gtx285OC and a corsair HX1000W psu.


Comments, suggestions, just the way the monitor is, or look for another issue?


I love the monitor, but the games aren't going to cut it with the jumping.


Thanks in advance

jumping isn't monitor related.

what kind of frame-rates are you getting? Joseph is right that its not monitor related.

Its either a drop in frame rate or a lag spike. Are you on a wireless connection?

Maybe its a driver issue or an overclocking issue? Try running your parts at stock clock and see what happens. 3 factory overclocked video cards and a heavily overclocked processor is asking for trouble.

On a side note:
I found this game to be unplayable with V-Sync on untill I changed a setting to this value: "RenderAheadLimit=1"

@ OP: what you speak of cannot be the fault of a display device.
