firefox sluggish scrolling

[Darkgundam111]

whenever i go to sites with lots of images such as newegg.com, firefox's scrolling is super sluggish and choppy. I have googled up how to fix this but none of the fixes have worked. any ideas why that would be? i have a pretty decent computer, so i don't see how performance should be impaired.

Sounds like low 2d clocks, my 5850 had this issue before when the screen save and other 2d opjects were very slow, try changing them.

oh how do i do that with the gefore gtx 460?

 

[brandonwh64]

download MSI afterburner and test

 

[Darkgundam111]

msi afterburner has no 2d clock modifying, only 3d clocks, unless i am not seeing it

try Ntune

NTUNE

didn't work either. i tried googling some info seems like there isn't any other way cept flashing the bios with upped 2d clocks. and i don't want to do any flashing

HMm that sux man. i know ATI cards can have the 2d clocks changed

 

[Darkgundam111]

yeah this sucks. i can see the 2d clocks are low when i am not using 3d apps, wonder if theres a way to trick it into thinking it needs to raise the clocks hmm.

I thought the 9800GTX+ didnt have 2d/3d clocks, wasnt that introduced in the GTX200 series?

I could well be wrong, but a few weeks back i was using an XFX 9800GTX (65nm) and it had no 2d clocks.

thats weird, i think i remember when using rivatuner on my pny 9800GTX+ it had 2d clock control. i am wondering whether 2d clocks is really the issue here because i tried something. what i did was go to the nvidia control panel and then for the application "mozilla firefox" i change the power config to prefered maximum, which when i checked afterburner, it shows that the clocks are at the 3d clock speeds and my gpu temp did raise higher than normal for web browsing. so i am not sure if what i did meant anything.


that nvidia inspector does have 2d clock speeds! very cool, but i am not sure if they will work gonna test it out .

Sorry, I don't use Firefox, but try:

If you are using any themes, change or dis-able them.

If that does not work try this: Solved: Firefox Freezes Every 10 Seconds, Scrolling is Jumpy

Also, try, disabling "Enhance pointer precision" in the mouse properties for testing purposes; if you are using MS mouse drivers.

Goodluck
