    The ONLY driver that seems to NOT give me stutter when scrolling on a map in SCII is the Dell video driver 8.763.

    Anyone else have any suggestions?


    Thanks

    Rofl im having some problem with sc2 aswell , although i got 6970 gpu and 2820qm cpu , the game recommends me to put spec's on low/medium and whenever i put them on ultra the scrolling through the maybe gets really annoying.. :S

    Strange, I'm using darcoder's latest driver mod and I have no problems with my games. Sc2 even runs on ultra 1080. Maybe not 60fps but smooth enough.

    Seems fine for me on stock drivers.
