Is scrolling in CIV 5 smooth for you?

[timewasted]

I used to play on a 2010 laptop and had to play on low graphics settings.

Recently bought a new desktop pc and can now enjoy high setting graphics. But i was playing linked upto my 2006 LCD flatscreen TV. The scrolling around the map in the game gave a "sticky" non smooth look.

I thought it was due to response time on my tv. I was planning on buying a decent pc monitor anyway so bought one yesterday with a response time of 2ms.

To my surpise and dissapointment, scrolling is still not smooth even with low graphics settings and vsync turned on.

Does anyone know, what affects the scrolling and smoothness of graphics movement ? Is it just the game, or is it the CPU, graphics card or anything else ?

My specs :
Intel quad core i5-2320 - 3GHZ
8 meg RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6670 grpahics

Samsung 23" LED 2ms monitor

Would have thought that would have been good enough for a smooth game?! Perhaps the graphics card is to blame ? I intended to upgrade it. But only if it will help

Are you trying to look around while the game is in the AI turn? That will always cause some stuttering.

obviously no-one else has noticed this then ?

No sir. Very smooth for me once the game has loaded up completely.

EDIT: Oh, and every one of my specs is worse than yours.

My specs are nowhere near yours, yet I scroll smoothly...

I suspect you have a cpu intensive program or malware running in the background. Can't think of a gpu program that could do that. Certainly it doesn't do that with my GS460SE, even running boinc in the background; but I don't know too much about 6670s, perhaps they aren't so robust.

You mentioned Vsync was on, try turning it off. If you're FPS are high enough you might get the opposite problem to stuttering, which is "tearing" of individual frames but it may be a bit more tolerable if that's the issue..
