PC Graphics

[rchrdm]

I have an AMD Radeon HD6450 1 GB graphics card.  I am running some ham radio software called "SmartSDR" that has a "waterfall" display.  This is a downward moving, flowing pattern that shows where radio stations are broadcasting.  On my PC, the rendition of this is a little "jumpy" like the frame rate is not fast enough.  However, I have the refresh rate for the waterfall set to maximum in the display controls.

I read that Radeon has "Steady Video Technology."  I assume that this would smooth out video or moving graphics displays to reduce flicker.

How can I access this feature on my card?  Do I need a different card?

Here is a link to a brochure on the SmartSDR software I am using.  The first page shows the waterfall display on the right.  This is the large blue area with green highlights.  It constantly flows downward showing the signals present.

I would appreciate some help with this.

Forgot to add the SmartSDR link.

I did a performance check on my PC and one problem may be that it is rather old and slow.  An updated PC would probably help with graphics quality.
