I got this PC over 2 weeks ago now and have been trying to resolve this issue. When I move my mouse while i'm in game
there is either FPS Lag, stutters, or inconsistency. The specific type of lag/stutter issue varies per game, I mostly test
in apex legends because the worst lag occurs there.
Here's a video of the lag: https://streamable.com/tfuet
Here's a picture of my CPU and GPU usage while in game normally and during mouse movements:
Through testing I've found things that make the lag & stutters worse and better, but none of these FIX the issue:
- Having teamspeak opened (yes just teamspeak open) can make apex legends go from stuttering to completely dropping frames
like in the video above.
- Having an overlay on will impact the amount of lag, for instance having Origin Overlay enabled causes more lag than when it's
disabled. (This only affects when the mouse is moving)
- Lowering my mouses hertz / polling rate does lessen the stutter/lag but doesn't get rid of it.
Here's a list of things that I have tried that haven't helped:
things running, changed mouse settings & tweaked anything i've found that could relate but haven't been able to figure it out.
If anyone has any suggestions or ideas for me to tryout please let me know, this has been the most frustrating thing and unfortunately all other cases of this
issue end with the "fix "just lower your mouse hertz." I appreciate anyone's help, Thank you.

Here's a list of things that I have tried that haven't helped:
- Trying different mouses (Logitech G PRO, Zowie EC2-B, Glorious Odin)
- Complete wipe of drives & reformat. Reinstall of windows 10
- Uninstall and reinstall of GPU Drivers (I used DDU)
- Tried differnt USB Ports
- Delete USB Hubs and restart PC
- Update Chipset driver
- Tested different ram (Corsair Vengeance LPX)
- Tried changing from Default Standard Chipset Controller to Intel 300 series Chipset Controller
- Many windows tweaks (High battery usage, Disable XBOX Game Bar/Game DVR, disabling high precision event timer)
