slow graphics at normal tasks

Macbook Pro, mid 2012
Graphics are slow and image turns pixelated when carrying out simple tasks like scrolling up/down or changing between desktops. It doesn't seem to be a memory or cpu issue, since activity monitor shows normal behaviour. I tried reseting my PRAM and verifying my disk permissions (suggested by apple support) and even reinstalling mavericks but issue keeps unrersolved.

Any ideas?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:


☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)


☞ In the Finder, select Go Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.


☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.


Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

View Show Log List

from the menu bar.


Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
