5900XT Pixel Shifting

Hello,
About a month ago I started having problems with my 5900XT. While running HL2 or CS:Source my computer came to a grinding halt, flashing me a blue screen, and kicking me out of each program (this happened with both). It took several trys to reboot, but once I got XP up and running and returned to the desktop, the pixles of the text for my icons were shifting as well as the pixels in my desktop. Rebooting did not fix the problem, until several reboots later. Now, the pixels shift, but not consisitantly. I can run okay for 5 days out of the week. Two days I will have pixel problems.
Two things came to mind as possible causes - either my LCD monitor, or the videocard. I have tried another monitor , as well as update the latest drivers/software for the LCD, and still encountered the pixle shifting problem. I have also upgraded to the latest version of the NVIDIA videocard drivers (66.93) (making sure to uninstall the previous drivers before putting in the new ones).
I also know that HL2 has known problems with NVIDIA cards and have the latest versions of HL2. But even if HL2 is the problem, my computer is still "pixel shifting" on me on start up in windows.
I have found that if I reboot, it will fix the problem 50% of the time. I have also found that if i shut my monitor off, and turn it back on, or if I change from 1280X1024 @ 60 hz (the monitors native resolution) to a lower resolution, and then back up, the shifting goes away.
Next course of action: update the videocard firmware? Flash BIOS? Change out NVIDIA drivers for MSI drivers?
Does anybody have any ideas?

I think the first thing I would do is list the corresponding amperages for the +12v, +5v, & +3.3v lines found on the sticker of the power supply.
Some of the newer sonata cases have a better power supply than the ones that previously shipped. The newer ones I believe have 20+ amps on the 12v rail, then you should be OK. I've seen even the weaker ones running systems similar to yours but I don't recommend it.
How long was it running OK before it happened?
I am not sure exactly what you mean about pixel shifting. Quote

A screen shot might be helpful.
BIOS updates aren't going to help here.
Sounds like something failed or blew...

My next step (cheapest) would be to remove the card and closely inspect it for any burn marks or anything that looks suspicious, the same goes for the motherboard, then if all looks good, try the card in another PC capable of running it and see if the problem can be duplicated. If the problem follows the card, then it is likely the card. If not, then there is something wrong with your board and/or related peripherals & power.

Accordion with horizontal pixel shift

Aside from irregularities with IE yet to be solved, the
accordion I've created for a page appears exactly as desired
locally, but on the remote server there is a horizontal pixel shift
to the left for the entire accordion list. This shift is
accompanied by fine lines at the left and bottom borders.

Compositing layers creates pixel shift

I have been compositing three layers, two are Animation codec QT, one is a TGA still. All are 1920x1080, millions+ and have their alpha channel knocked out. They composite, scale and effect fine. The problem is a 5 to 8 pixel shift on the X-axis that occurs on playback, RAM preview and naturally in the final render. There is no tell-tale filter or action that I can pinpoint that is causing this and I can't reproduce it verbatim every time.
The layer that shifts is locked and has no keyframes, set to fixed resolution, it is a TGA, 32bit still. The composited layers are 1920x1080 QT 29.97, no interlace. Whole project is set to 29.97 as are the QTs being used.
Any ideas, suggestions or similar experiences out there?
I appreciate any advice you can offer.

G5DP Mac OS X (10.4.9)

After many tries I have been unable to defeat the problem with the registration moving 1080 images around when compositing layers. The 2K limit is unacceptable. I have yet to upgrade to Motion 3 but I hope this is something they have addressed. If Motion cannot handle 1080 composites without glitches, it is useless to me and I'm sure, many others. Furthermore, if you are rendering for film, forget it. If the almost 2K images wreck the registration, anything larger would blow it up, too.
I tried fixed resolution, cropping (this would be a band-aid anyway, the whole point of HD is to get the full image, not a percentage) reducing the scale slightly, nothing helps. Previewing at half-rez and then back to full, the image jumps several pixels. I am resorting to using FCP until I install another package of AE or Shake. Very disappointed in Apple. If FCP is HD capable, Motion should be moreso. How can you zoom, rotate or distort a 1080 image if the engine is going to squeeze it and push the center reg around?
My advice to anyone experiencing this is to move to another solution, I have spent many hours trying to resolve this and am unable. Generally I attribute these things to PICNIC but this is definitely a software issue.
Dear Apple, please give us Motion HD, and not at a premium. If Apple intends to stay the leader in digital imaging, these "Pro" apps must work together in harmony. The license belongs to Apple, no third-party excuse here.
Ok, I'm done crying, back to work.

Reversing video, 1 pixel shift = smoothness?

When reversing video, I know you should apply the shift field option to make it crisp/smooth. I'm just curious as to whether shifting the image 1 pixel up or down would have the same effect.

Graeme Nattress has a G-reverse filter that does a much better job than FCP's internal effect.

I'm sure there's a simple answer...Copy/Paste InD to PS pixel shift...

Howdy, I'm copying from indesign and pasting intophotoshop, and the 'pixels' keep shifting--I'm using points as the measurement in inDesign and would think they would translate to the PS pixels but not so much. Is there a setting to turn of anti-alaising or something on paaste? Are the units of measurment just a hair of enough different that it causes issues?
Thanks in advance,
-Ted

Thanks Bob, was doing that, seems that it's juts an error ID-ten-T, if you know what I mean (user )
just sorted it out...
Seems my default in PS for placing the object from the clipboard is set to W: 101.7% H: 110.0% instead of 100%/100%.
Putting it back to 100% fixed it.
*sigh* there goes an hour
Thanks anyhow.

Screen jumping / pixel shifting screen HELP!

hi folks,
I've trawled through the discussions to see if I can find a solution to this problem with no luck, so now I'm posting a fresh thread to see if anyone can help me...
My screen display is jumping/shifting about 1-2mm when I move the mouse up or down. I first noticed this in my web browser but now its happening on the desktop and in all my applications. It's a horizontal shifting. The only part of the display not affected is the top most menu bar.
This is causing me major problems for my design work and the constant 'flickering' is giving me headaches. Any help appreciated before I think about getting a new computer.
TIA

PS: I just took some screenshots to illustrate the problem and it doesn't show up on them which is really odd.
Also my husband came and looked at my screen and confirmed it's not just my eyes seeing this problem.
Reboot doesn't help at all and it's been over a week now since it started.

Pixel shift in PDF after flattening

Hi,
I made this post some time ago in the Illustrator forum, but it's most likely an Acrobat issue. Here's the link. Perhaps it can be picked up or moved here by admins.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1383150?tstart=0
Thanks.

My recomendation of layers was intended for Illustrator layers.
Yes, PDF 1.5 will retain the layers
I'm not an expert, but feel compelled to ask -
Why do you want to flatten within pdf? Spend enough time here and you will take note that Adobe recommends keeping transparency live as long as possible - until print
You printed within Acrobat to pdf to 1.3 - Yep, it was going to flatten, yep yep, no surprise.
I was ablo to replicate your steps (using InDesign for live transparency) producing an output with stitching (Export > 1.3) and without (Export > High Quality)
To test Acrobats internal flattening, rather than Print to PDF I used to Preflight Fixup to flatten, compatability 1.3. Stitching lines occured. I don't think you can work around such.

W510 checkered pixel patterns while running on battery [workaround]

Hey all, got my W510 in the mail yesterday and am quite pleased with it so far, but I have one issue that I've determined to be related to the power profiles. When using any energy-saving power profile while running off battery power, when I have a flash website (e.g. Nvidia's homepage) open in IE or Chrome or if I move any window around the screen enough, some kind of strange pixel checkering occurs constantly when the screen has too much activity. It's as if every other pixel gets shifted over by one making what looks like a checkerboard out of all the pixels on the screen. I can still read the screen, but it makes my head spin.
If I choose the standard 'Max Performance' power profile, the issue doesn't manifest when running on the battery. If I choose any of the others or create my own profile to mimic the Max Performance profile, I still get the checkers. It still manifests if I go through and turn off all power-saving options or increase the brightness of the backlight. If I start with the Max Performance profile and adjust it to my needs, the problem doesn't occur. Something tells me that the performance profile has something subtly different than all the others and it's not a configurable setting.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Should I upgrade my Nvidia drivers from version 188.25, which came with the machine? I've read that other people have had issues upgrading their Nvidia driver. The way the system behaves, this seems like a power management issues more than an Nvidia driver issue.
Edit: I should also add that I don't have the issue while running on the AC adapter. Also if I take a screenshot while the pixel shifting occurs, the screenshot is crisp and clear with no signs of the pixel problem. This seems purely hardware/power management related.
Edit: see my later post on adjusting the power settings to work around this issue.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's reasonably likely that whatever issue you're seeing is linked to a setting in the NVIDIA Control Panel. So the best diagnostic you can do is, in high-performance mode (where the problem DOESN'T occur), write down the value of EVERY single setting that's available in that control panel.
Then, put the machine in a power mode in which the problem DOES occur. Then again go into the NVIDIA Control Panel and check every single available setting to see if anything has changed. There's a reasonable chance that you'll then find out what setting is causing the problem.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and a video probably ten times that. Taking a close-up shot of the screen while the problem is occuring, with either a still camera or preferably a video camera (or both), may help siginifcantly in diagnosing the problem. A simulated picture may differ in some subtle way from what's really happening, and those subtleties may be important. For instance, does the effect only break up vertical lines, and not horizontal lines? And does it only happen to content that is moving on the screen? And you're running your display at its native resolution, and not some larger or smaller resolution, right? Is the horizontal offset in the effect always just one pixel-width, or is it more than one pixel-width if you move things fast enough?
The simulated picture that you provide looks like it suffers from an artifact that appears WITHIN moving items that are displayed on an interlaced-scan display. The artifact goes away when the item ceases to move. But these aren't supposed to be interlaced displays. And I assume that you're talking about the built-in LCD in the W510, and not some external display, right? If somehow your display card is in interlaced display mode, then the problem probably won't appear in any screenshot the W510 takes of its own display. So at least that part of such a problem would agree with what you're describing.
So maybe the card is in an interlaced display mode when it's not supposed to be. Such a setting would normally be contained under some sort of "Video" menu in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
And from nVIDIA's website:
http://nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/nvidia.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2343&p_created=1231528...!!&p_li=&p_topview=1
"Graphics card temperatures typically range from 40°C to 90°C."
The only mention of interlacing that I see on their site for that graphics card is in the "Features" section of:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_quadro_fx_880_m_us.html
"PureVideo HD Technology
NVIDIA® PureVideo® technology is the combination of high-definition video processors and software that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for SD and HD video content. Features include, high-quality scaling, spatial temporal de-interlacing, inverse telecine, and high quality HD video playback from DVD."
Plus there are many references to interlace features in the "NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Graphics Driver README and Installation Guide" which covers your video card. And those features are also presumably present in the Windows driver as well:
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/195.36.08/README/README.txt
One such reference is:
"While [it] is possible to apply de-interlacing algorithms to progressive streams using the techniques outlined in the VDPAU documentation, NVIDIA does not recommend doing so. One is likely to introduce more artifacts due to the inverse telecine process than are removed by detection of bad edits etc."
So maybe it's trying to do spatial temporal de-interlacing when it doesn't need to (I once wrote software to do spatial temporal de-interlacing for a thermal camera, and you don't want that to be turned on when it's not supposed to be turned on). It mentions the de-interlacing in connection with a video mixer feature. So that's another possibility.
Anyway, that should keep you busy, if you want to fix it. ;-) Good luck!

Pixellation with 10.6.8 on icons and more

I've got a rather interesting issue that is stumping me. Maybe you can help?
My Mac Pro running 10.6.8 started doing a crazy thing with pixels a couple of months ago, which is most evident when looking at animated items such as BBC iPlayer/Flash based items/Youtube etc. It's also at a system level in that it replicates on icons. It's hard to describe but I'll try. The screen seems to 'drop' pixels at random, displaying them as white or black (mostly white) rather than the colour they should be. If you move your cursor or the animation changes the 'dropped' pixels shift around. So trying to watch something on Youtube is impossible as it's covered in this 'snow' like effect.
I've booted up from a fresh install of 10.6 from a second HD and all was fine. I then did an update to 10.6.8 via Software Update and I was back with the same issue. During this time I've also have the Java update for the Flashback virus added but this was an issue that preceeds the Java update. So I now have 2 bad installs of 10.6.8 on my 2 HDs! Wierd!
Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Hatter,
Sorry, didn't think to add that as I felt it was a software issue. It's got an ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1024MB of vram. I've got a 20" Cinema display plugged into the mini-DV port and a 30" CD in the regular DVI port on the card. Both monitors suffer the problem.
I've run Disk First Aid from the Snow Leopard discs and repaired any permissions etc and also this am done a full re-install of 10.6 (where it was all fine) then only upgraded the OS to 10.6.8 (rather than all updates as previous, inc Java and the Flashback one from last week) and the issue is back. This is on a second HD to the initial HD with the issue.
The issue first appeared in January and I've been living with it as I just haven't had the time to lose a day's work doing reinstals and all this searching to find out the issue. So it's not related to any recent upgrades from Apple.
The issue also occurs as soon as you start up and doesn't get worse the hotter the temperatures, so wouldn't have thought it's the temperature.
Should I assume as it's on 2 hard discs that it's highly likely to be a hardware/graphics card issue?
Cheers

Pixel-wide distorted lines jumping around

I admit that topic sounds confusing - but then, so is my problem:
A few weeks ago I noticed some distorted lines on my MBP screen (first generation 15"). The appearance is as if two adjacent rows of pixels "bleed", they seem to be identical, smearing whatever is on the screen in that position out across this pixel-wide band (there are several such bands or lines, both vertical and horisontal).
The really weird thing is, they come and go - they're mostly there and mostly in the same places (two vertical ones and three horizontal) but occasionally they disappear, then reappear, and, stranger yet, they shift about when I move the cursor to the lower right corner of the screen (at which point the entire screen seems to shift or jump slightly - one pixel? - up and to the left).
The lower right corner is inactive, the only thing that happens when the cursor is there is that the dock pops up - but the lines don't react to the dock appearing when I put the cursor anywhere else along the bottom of the screen, only the right lower corner.
I didn't do anything (that I'm aware of) when it first occured - no installs or re-installs, no updates, nothing like that. I haven't dropped it, stepped on it or had it run any hotter than usual, in short, no particular event or behavior caused this problem to start...
Anyone?

MacBook Pro 2.0Ghz/2.0 Gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I'm having the same issue. It just started this afternoon. Do you have Parallels? I was using Parallels with Windows Vista Business when it first started. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not, but Windows was doing some weird things with screen resolution, jumping between a couple different settings by itself, just before this weirdness started. At first I thought it was Windows but then when I switched back to the Mac I noticed it was doing it there too.
I've rebooted, and changed the screen resolution, but nothing has helped. The text looks kind of blurry unless I mouse over it and then it either gets sharper or way too sharp as if it's been through a heavy sharpening filter. Anywhere I move the mouse there's sort of a pixel-shift where the pixels look as though they're being smeared around by one pixel. Also, If I move the mouse quickly left and right the whole screen goes back and forth about a pixel.
There are two other interesting things about this situation:
1. I'm using a dual screen setup with my 15" MacBook Pro and a 23" Cinema Screen. It does it on both of them, and continues if I unplug the CS and only use the MBP screen.
2. If I log in as another user, *it doesn't do it anymore* - only under my main user account does it happen, which also leads me to believe that it might have to do with Parallels. At least it would appear to be software related instead of hardware related.
Was there anything you can think of that you did to make it stop? This is really annoying!

Importing Illustrator vectors -- not sitting on whole pixels

Hey all,
I just opened a mockup that was done in Illustrator CS4 and all the vector shapes are blurry (as if they are not aligned to whole pixels, even though the transform palette in both Illy and FW CS4 shows them on whole pixels). The weird thing is that the entire mockup was created with Pixel Preview enabled in Illustrator and with Pixels as the units (which I thought prevented this from happening). The transform origin in Illustrator is set to upper left BTW. Visually its as if the whole thing is shifted by a fraction of a pixel in the Y direction. Moving an object in FW does not remove the blurring.
Any ideas how I can get the edges to look clean without rebuilding the whole thing in FireWorks? Image attached.

I really appreciate your looking into the issue, heathrowe, and take what I am about to say with all respect for your community participation here.
You are completely misunderstanding the problem. I zoom in to verify what my eye can already see and then correct misalignments. I want my designs to be tack sharp. Zooming in is the only way to verify whether that soft edge I am seeing is an optical illusion due to a color relationship or if its truly an edge that is pixel shifted. I have been building websites since 1994 and I have been teaching interaction design at the college level for years. Of course I know that websites are viewed at 100% in browsers. A rectangle that sits on whole pixels and is of whole pixel dimensions--even when zoomed in--should not show pixelation on its sides (as the rectangles do in my FW example). That's the entire reason why Pixel Preview was added to Illustrator...to give us a way to preview a web layout and see all the imperfections that need correction--and to do that while zoomed in.

RAW as Smart Objects - Lock Edge Pixel Opacity During Resize

I'm a professional fine art printer. I prepare images for large format printing, often starting from the original RAW files. Since the feature to open RAW files as Smart Objects in Camera Raw was introduced, I've been doing that, as it allows me to go back into the Raw file at anytime and re-tweak as I layer. I love this option and it is totally indispensable to my workflow.
HOWEVER, I find a serious flaw when resizing the image for final print, or even when resizing for web-output. If I do any interpolation (pixel resizing) up or down, the edge pixels are not locked in place, and treated as if they are a floating object, therefore the edge pixels usually show up at a lower opacity, (see attached image). This KILLS my workflow! It means I have to completely flatten my work and then resize, loosing all my groovy layers and the ability to go back into Camera Raw and make final tweaks while I make test prints and final decisions with the client by my side.
Even worse, when I apply the final print sharpening and flatten the file to send out, the edge transparency issue is compounded, and the sharpening adds an ugly halo around the whole image, BLAH!
What I need is a way for Smart Objects with the exact same pixel dimensions as the file to lock their edge pixels at the current opacity when resizing. In other words, I need Photoshop to treat the Smart Object as a true Background Layer for certain purposes, while still being able to go back into Camera Raw as I like. I notice the ability to lock transparency is gone on Smart Objects, which I'm sure is necessary for compositing, but not for what I'm doing at all.
Is there anyway this can be done in the current CS5 or 5.5 (haven't upgraded yet) that I'm simply missing? Can anyone from Adobe confirm that this is something you'll look into for me?
Thanks so much, absolutely loving Adobe products these days, you guys rock!
Best,
-B

I'm not going to say anything about the abysmal rendering of Vector Smart Objects in CS6 because it'll be beating a dead horse but I can explain the issues you see with measurements after scaling.
The slightly disproportionate scaling and half-pixel shift of the centre is unavoidable when it happens because the resulting Smart Object/Vector Smart Object must measure an integer number of pixels in height and width and be perfectly aligned to the document pixel grid. That's true in CS5 and CS6.
Say a SO/VSO originally measures 102 x 103 pixels and you scale it by 50%. The Options bar may say the result is 51 x 51.5 px but the result will really be 51 x 52 px, and therefore the new height will really be 50.49% of the old height.
The original SO/VSO is an even number of pixels wide and an odd number of pixels high, therefore its centre will be halfway down a pixel. The 50%-scaled SO/VSO is an odd number of pixels wide and an even number of pixels high, therefore its centre will be halfway across a pixel.

Selection Tool off by 1 pixel on the left side in CS4?

Having a bit of an annoying problem with the selection tool in CS4. If I open a document, say 500px x 500px, and "select all", the marquee tool will appear to leave 1 pixel of space on the left side of the composition. If I manually select an area, it will appear to be offset by 1 pixel. If I hit delete, the entire 500px x 500px canvas will be deleted and will not leave the remaining 1px on the left side even though it appears as if it would. If I zoom in as close as I can, the selection tool appears to cover the entire canvas. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the entire Master Collection and the problem is still there. I do a lot of web design where being pixel perfect is important and I could forsee this being a quite a pain. Anyone else experincing this? Really happy with the new CS4 this is the only real problem I've encountered.

Hi, I'm going to open this up again... I was hoping for a "it was a bug that was fixed - going to be fixed" kind of thing. This is the second time on 2 different Mac's that this has happened to me.
I too get the 1 pixel shift in the Marching ants, and as it may not be detrimental, it is - as most designers will agree - incredibly bothersome and ruins the flow of a project.
I've attached my system specs in hopes that someone from Adobe can say, "Oh, it's because of this, and we're working on it" Until then, maybe someone can tell me that the OpenGL options aren't really necessary, or needed for anything other than 3D.
Other Specs: Photoshop CS4 11.0.1
Thanks in advance!

Why is my banner shifting by 1px to the left and right

Hi there,
I put up a banner that will be the main graphic with menu for
my website at www.happysexyyou.com.
The image was made in illustrator, sliced and saved as html
and then put into the dreamweaver template. I like the way it looks
but I notice that the image does a 1 pixel shift to the left, then
to the right, then back to the left whenever I reload it.
I can't figure out why this is, and it's the first time I've
seen this problem. Can anyone see why and help me remove the
shifting?
Thanks.

Mozilla based browsers have a problem with odd widths like
that. I'm
betting that if you change the widths to 802 px (still too
wide in my
opinion) you'll see it stop.

Any way to make Motion Effect work in CS3?

I had some problems with animated motion effects in CS2, but now they seem to be even worse in CS3... Along with all the other CS3 problems I've encountered, I'm considering going back to CS2 - but I thought I'd try here first...
With an interlaced video project (NTSC SD) anything (title, photo, or video) that is put in motion using keyframes for the built-in Motion Effect comes out VERY bad.
I tried a test with a clip that is only three frames long, consisting of white box approx. 100x100 pixels (made via Titler) and starting at frame 0, offset horizontally by 360 and at the 3rd frame (frame 2) offset horizontally by 380. (20 pixel shift)
FIRST PROBLEM: Look at the frame 0 and frame 1 in the program monitor at 100%. Now try any other magnification - completely different results!!
SECOND PROBLEM: To export these three frames, I have to set the work area bar to include FOUR frames, because if I animate motion of a clip and then export, the last frame is SOMETIMES not included in the output file. If you're playing along, output five frames just to be sure.
THIRD PROBLEM: Open the clip in Photoshop. (The only application in CS3 that appears to work correctly.) At first glance, frame one appears to be interlaced because of the motion. But it's not. The second field is nowhere near where it should be in time relative to the movement. If you use an actual photo instead of a white box, you can see how badly it's mangled. (Not just fields in wrong position, but badly mangled.)
FOURTH PROBLEM: Frame 1 and 2 (the 2nd and third frame) are also badly mangled.
FIFTH PROBLEM: The fourth frame (frame 3) consists of the the final resting place of the object - BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE THERE AT ALL! (The 4th frame is blank.)
I know, I know, long rant... I'm just getting so fed up with all of the problems with CS3...
Anyway, are there other alternatives that will work on interlaced video??? (For now, I had to create a different project that was progressive, and render to a temp file to import into the interleaved project. It looks better, but not nearly as smooth of motion as it should be.)

Please provide
these details to help us help you.
