I'm just grasping at straws here, but I notice a distinct lack of smoothness in some games even though FRAPS reports a steady 60 FPS. For example, the original Half Life is silky smooth at 60FPS but UT2003 and Doom 3 are less smooth.
I only notice this when looking around with the mouse. Moving with the WASD keys is equally smooth. I've tried wireless and wired mice and trackballs but all are the same. Is there some metric that would characterize this phenonemon?
Also, please note that I'm not talking about some malfunction or drastic problem, just that I've noticed this difference in smoothness of mouselook in different games at the same framerate and would like to quantify this, hopefully leading to some tweak that results in increased smoothness.
