Hello, and thanks for reading!

I recently upgraded from an i7-7700k to a Ryzen 5600X. Current PC specs are below:

MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max
Ryzen 5600X
GTX 980 TI Gold Edition
2x8GB 3200MHZ
SSDs, NVMe, etc.

I have a 144hz main monitor and I notice when I have a small window that does not take the whole screen, if it is my current window, my mouse will stutter very sharply if I move it across my desktop, or any other program that is not currently the main window. As soon as I click on a new window, or on the desktop, the mouse becomes smooth within that window, or on the desktop, respectively.

I figure this is a resource management feature, but I can't seem to find any information on it online. Any ideas as to where to look would be appreciated.

Thank you.

try this step by step (read until end):
  • Disconnect from internet
  • Uninstall gpu driver DDU (clean and do not restart).
  • Uninstall all the processors on device manager (should be 12 on yours, also when it asks for restart, click on no) like this:

  • Restart the pc to bios, and update to the latest bios. Then go to bios again after update and load default or optimized settings.

  • boot up to windows and install the latest AMD Chipset driver, reboot, and connect to internet.

  • Install the latest nvidia driver.

    *do this all offline until reboot after installing chipset driver, also you may reboot to bios after all of this to set the XMP (and previous settings you did) and make sure ram is on slot 2 and 4 if you use 2 sticks. Download needed files (highlighted word) before doing step 1, do the step by orders.

  • And check windows update (and optional updates) if there is any and install them (except chipset in optional update). Also enable Hardware Accelerated Graphics Scheduling (available on the latest win 10 update) in graphics settings like this and reboot:

Make sure the psu connected to the gpu is 1 pcie cable per 1 slot (use main cable, not the branches/split) like this:
