strange problem while gaming

Hi guys,



first my specs



720 processor

8gb of ram

260 card

microsoft wireless mouse 5000

Stealth mode OFF

latest drivers from dell



I tried 2 different games and got the same problem. One was CoD:black ops and the other was Americas Army. I was getting what seemed to be excessive lag just in the menu areas. I would almost describe it as mouse lag. Here is what I tried



Loaded the game (mouse receiver plugged into a USB hub) ran like poop

closed the game

unplugged the hub and tried the touch pad, ran like poop

closed the game

plugged the mouse receiver into the pc directly and tried again ran like poop.



does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

Try turning off v sync, it causes mouse lag in the menus in a few games

im sure ur power plugged.....

1 do a powerdrain

2 make sure power plan is on high preformance aswell as CCC is on power play enabled

3 toggle stealth mode on/off

4 check gpu z to see if your card is achieving max settings. either thru game or furmark. And check your temps

power plan is on high performance

jesus tapdancing christ. i think saying that in the first GD post and then in the third and now in this one should be enough to satisfy that. i appreciate the people trying to help, but it seems that no one is even reading what is written.

my temps are under control, i don't see anything odd in gpuz and i get a rather high futuremark score.



this seems like mouse lag to me, but i dont have a wired mouse around to test it out. basically its just like what this guy is getting

Have you updated to the latest bios? Latest drivers?

Yeah, what Bios do you have?



And about stealth mode... even if you think it's of, sometimes it activates itself for no reason, then you have to tap twice on the speedometer to solve it... that's always worth a try even if you think it's off.



Black Ops has a laggy main menu, I can have constantly 60fps in the game (with vsync on) but only about 30-40 fps in the menu...



For BO also check your config files and make sure multiGPU is disabled and multithreading enabled.
