Rippling text while scrolling in browser

My first IPS monitor, not sure this is a common issue.

I have a Dell U2415 60Hz @1920x1200, Radeon 6850HD, Win 7, CPU = Core2Duo. Using a mini-dp cable.

Everything seems ok, except while scrolling up and down in web pages (firefox). There is a ripple effect on text when scrolling. Not the whole page, but only 2 or 3 lines of text. Happens in different spots. But on occasion, the whole page will scroll just fine.

Installed the monitor driver plus re-installed video drivers. No luck. Considering exchanging the monitor, unless this is common to 60Hz IPS displays? Or my Conroe + 6850 is just too weak to handle it.
 
Could be the cables fault,does the GPU have mini-dp or is it a converter cable?
Either that or your GPU just can't properly sync itself to the monitor,have you played with the vsync options,could be screen tearing.
 
Cable is mini-dp on the monitor side, standard size on the PC side. No adapter. Cable came with the monitor.

I did turn off smooth scrolling (and hardware acceleration), and well, ripple is greatly reduced, or gone. Though I feel like the issue is just masked and not fixed.

So this is common thing and everyone is just turning off smooth scrolling? Maybe my 1070ti upgrade will work better with smooth scrolling.

Thanks for the help!
 
I think the better video card might help. For useful information, see whether Edge and IE 11 have the same issue.
