UI *Jitter* Image moving looks worse than atari console, why?

Code:

#pragma strict
var speed = 120;
function Start () {
}
function Update () {
GetComponent(RectTransform).transform.localPosition.x += (-1.0*speed)*Time.deltaTime;

if(GetComponent(RectTransform).transform.localPosition.x<-400){
this.Destroy(this.gameObject);
}
}

V sync being turned off seems to fix me being able to see it happening but does this mean that there is no way anyone would be able to use v sync on for any unity created program?

 

The frame rate in the Unity editor is often not right. Do a build, and I bet it'll be smooth.

 

Tested it, you are right. Thanks! I have built other things but never a direct linear motion such as this where the jitter was noticeable in the editor so much. It jumps really bad once now just after start of the build version but then no more jitter after that one time.

 

There can be a lot of causes for this, but the process of loading the scene has probably created a lot of garbage and that's the first garbage collection cycle. Or some other thing you have no control over, adding a small intro screen or something so it's not so noticeable might be the way to go there.

 

Same thoughts here.
