AMD Drivers, the latest 13.1 on Windows. Running the open source drivers in Ubuntu.

Background tasks? The same on either, I use my browser and that's about it. How would that affect the smoothness of a website anywho?

Which websites, Google Plus, Feedly for example.

I know with windows if you have the default/generic display driver, it will cause scrolling to be choppy until you install the correct one. You mentioned you are using open source drivers...any official ones from the video cards manufacturer? Or a diff set of drivers you could try?

This is not the case since Windows 7

Point being it could be a video card/driver issue. Ive seen this issue even with the correct video drivers installed and they needed an update (on Windows.) Can just be buggy drivers, or not even a video problem at all.

I am using the latest AMD drivers in Windows, makes no difference. The part I don't understand is why is it only some sites, not all of them.

Ahh, my apologies. I read your post wrong and was thinking the choppiness was in Linux.

Do you have the same problems browsing the sites with IE or FF?

    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
