Hi,
it’s been a couple of weeks since Rhinoceros prospectic viewport flickers when I rotate the view with my mouse.
As you can see in the gif, when I stop the view bounces back and forth a bit before actually stopping.
Steps that I have tried to solve the problem:
Changing mouse does nothing
Disabled all external plugins from _PluginsManager
Reverted to default options for graphical settings in the Cycles section and in the View section
I noticed that the safe mode of Rhino 7 does not have this issue!
Rhino 8 WIP, instead, presents the same problem.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Giovanni

Hi Giovanni -
That SystemInfo looks fine and I can’t say I’ve seen that behavior before.
What happens when you disconnect the external monitor and use Rhino on the laptop’s screen?
You write that this started happening a couple of weeks ago. Do you recall what else might have changed on your machine at that point? I see that the GPU drivers are from around that time - were those installed as an attempt to fix this or before this started happening?

Hi Wim,
Disconnecting the external monitor does not help.
I updated the GPU drivers only after this behaviour started, as I thought that could help. I don’t recall any other significant changes to my machine that could have caused this problem.
I have just recently been having the same issue on my work laptop. I use the same mouse between my two work machines. This stuttering only effects the laptop. Its like slapping a jello mold…everthing seems to jiggle for a bit after navigating the viewport. It is especially noticeable when rotating or panning slightly quicker.

Hi Benjamin,
I can share with you the solution that @giuseppe found for me hoping that it also works for you.
Opening your Nvidia control panel you will find a slider for the performance vs quality setting. I moved it on the performance setting and that fixed it for me.
Thank you Giovanni,
I am using an external monitor and a switched the cable from HDMI to Mini Display Port. This seemed to fix the issue, but I will do as you suggested as well.
I notice that sometimes this setting in Microsoft teams will sometimes interfere with my viewport performance.
