That depends on what is causing the lag. What game is it?

Lag doesn't necessarily mean it is the mouse. It could just be simply lag. Maybe you can describe what is happening further, and what game, system and settings are used.

Well ive tested few games.. like Far Cry 3,Outlast,and i experience mouse lag when enabling vsync. Using 1600x900 resolution and high settings. When i lower the graphics i still experience the same mouse lag..ive tried lower the resolution to its minumum 800x600 but still experience mouse lag,altrough its not the same as when its 1600x900

V-sync, in DirectX games that use triple buffering, which may be most games, will cause a full frame worth of latency when your FPS reaches your refresh rate. In games that you can achieve a constant 60 FPS, turn off triple buffering when it is an option (Far Cry 3 allows you to do this). Other games won't let you do that.

If your FPS are lower than 60 FPS, then you may find triple buffering helps keep the FPS from dropping too low, which can cause lag.

Assuming this is normal lag, and you are just using the term "mouse lag" because you feel it with the mouse movements, then that is about all you can do. If there is something else going on, then you'll have to show a video of the problem as I am not sure what is going on.
