Hi, when i play Fear and Oblivion and some parts of COD2 on full graphics i get some mouse lag. by that i mean i move my mouse then just a little bit latter the crosshairs move. its not bad but its noticable. also when i play BF2 and Counterstrike Source and Guild Wars on full graphics i get no lag at all. so i was wondering if i can fix this problem by buying a new part or if i can overclock something to make it run faster like my processor or my video card. here are my specs-

7800gtx
amd 400+
2g corshair xmx pro ram
asus a8n sli board
350g WD 16mb cache hard drive

if you could help me out that would be awsome!!!
 
ive been getting mouse lag in source l8ly....just started...i dont know whether its the mouse or the ping which is normally under 80 :p

and i have the same board as you
 
Go into display properties and click on the Performance and Quality Settings tab and then Additional Direct3D Settings. Change 'max frames to render ahead' from 3 to 0.
 
I've got a 7800gt and I get "mouse lag" in Oblivion when I turn the settings to the highest (all sliders to the right).

doesn't happen in any other game.
 
I don't think drivers are the problem.

If the mouse is defective you can call logitech and they will send a new one.

but it could be something else.. I got that "mouse lag" when I have settings too high in oblivion, and on my old computer when I was zoomed in with a sniper rifle on CS it would happen too.
 
mouse lag happens to me too on higher-resolutions
now i play cs on 720X480 res
 
In some games (not oblivion), mouse lag can be caused by "mouse smoothing". Get rid of it quick, I don't know anyone who likes it.

Did everyone just scroll right past my right reply or did it not work?

Scrolled right past it. You're right, that's one tweak worth using as well.
 
what psu do you have? could be a culprit if you have everything cranked up to the hilt. didn't see it listed on your specs.

PSU? Hrmm... it did be interesting if it turns out to be the culprit of the problem... which I think is highly unlikely.

Anyhow, if you get it in some games and don't in some others... I'd say is a driver problem or that you're just playing the games at too high of a setting.

I know FEAR, Oblivion and COD2 are all graphics intensive games. It could be just that.

What resolution are you playing those games on?
 
The tweak that i listed earlier seemed to help others who were having issues with mouse lag in Oblivion.

does it help?

Like burningrave101 said, some people have noticed it. I enabled it and haven't really noticed much of a difference, but then again, I don't notice any mouse lag right now anyway. Try and find out.
 
Mouse lag with logitech is due to mouse accelleration conflicting with the accelleration bug in Microsoft drivers (even when mouse accelleration is turned off by unchecking the box)

There is a reg file that disables it for gaming from Logitech, called gamefix.reg or so...look in the logitech downloads.

There is also a reg file to import that sets windows accelleration profiles to linear so the setting does not matter. You should be able to find it easily here, look for some of my old posts.
