T510 text shakes for a second and then looks fine

#1 Post by jpullam » Sun Nov 07, 2010 3:23 pm

I have an odd problem that happens sometimes when a new object is rendered on the display--the text seems to shake (or look a bit blurry) for a fraction of a second and then it stabilizes. I have a T510 which has the NVS 3100M graphics from nvidia and I'm running Win 7 64 bit. It has the factory driver 8.16.11.8955 which appears to me to be the current version.

This is very annoying because your eyes try to correct it and it causes eyestrain.

Anyone else seeing this? Any resolution?

No problem with my T510. I have HD+. The graphics are excellent.

The issue only affects NVidia equipped Tx10 laptops. If you have the Intel one, you have to deal with the dynamically changing brightness. There's an issue on either side... now as for the Optimus users :P

That other post you referred me to does appear to have solved the problem. I just changed the setting when on battery and now it looks good and the text hasn't been fuzzy or shaked since. Hope it stays that way! Thanx a lot for the prompt feedback.
