Mouse lagging

[Malnutrition]

Also I should mention that when I opened the NVCleanstall it showed that they didn’t work with the latest drivers, like version 566.63 something like that, so maybe if I try to install another version it would work?

Perhaps. That could work. At least we are narrowing the issue.
Could you re seat the GPU card again and try it in a different slot?

Did the entire process once again, this time I selected the version right below the 566.63, this time it all went well, no errors, but once the drivers were installed, the mouse lag came back again, so it didn’t work, i don’t know what else we could do tbh, I need the drivers to be able to use my PC properly, but whenever I install it this mouse lag makes it unusuable, maybe if I install in custom configurations would help

Open command prompt as admin:
Copy the content of the code box below:
Paste into command window and hit enter:

@echo off
wevtutil cl System
wevtutil cl Application
wevtutil cl Security
exit

Hmm.
Do you have a second PCI slot to put the Graphics Card into?
Perhaps try this.
Uninstall with DDU
Power Down remove it clean the connections with a pencil eraser.
Clean the ram modules while you are at it.
Put it back in snug
Either in same slot or different if you have.
Put the power cord back into the wall.,
Boot back up
Install drivers.

huge update, I accidentaly when changing configs on my second monitor I unplugged my hdmi from it, and the mouse lag is gone, just like that, for some weird reason the hdmi cable on my second monitor was the solution, can’t believe I’ve spent hours doing all tests to be a hdmi cable, feel so dumb. Even tho now Ik why the mouse lag is happening there isn’t really a fix, either I stay with only 1 monitor or I just accept the mouse lag, cause the VGA connection on my gpu hasn’t worked for years, now the HDMi input is also causing this mouse lag, is there something I can do or the only fix would be to actually replace my gpu for a better one?

Well I’ll let @Bruce answer that, at least your machine is running a bit smoother, we reduced the load on the computer significantly in the process. You could try and clean the ram modules and the graphics card lead as suggested in my previous post.

Have tried 4 different HDMI cables in 3 different monitors, unfortunately it does seem like it’s a hardware issue and my GPU is just done, VGA has been broken for years now HDMI showing signs that also can’t be used, don’t think there is much more I could do besides buying a new one some day when I can afford it. Anyways thank you very much for the help, even tho we didn’t find a solution we got close to it, still waiting to hear from Bruce if he has something but it does seem like it’s a hardware issue, have a good day guys.

Glad you found the solution, if not ideal.

The only issue I could see from the Speccy report is your second drive, the Seagate on D:, is showing lots of errors.
I’m assuming it is old.
I was going to suggest disconnecting it while we do further testing, but it looks like there is no need now.
Although, if old, I’d be considering replacing before it dies! (y)

The other left-field thought i had was what were you using the mouse on, the desk top, a mouse pad?
I’ve seen some pads with graphics on them cause the laser in the mouse to act up.

I would be replacing the GPU, as you all have discovered - it already has one dead port, now potentially another.
If you did want to perserfere with the current card, you could try going back to further versions, but that would be a suck it and see exercise, that would get tied really quickly. Maybe jump back in increments of 5 previous versions - something like that.

@drodi4 - any update?

[drodi4]

No not really, for sure my hdmi input on graphis card is the problem, sometimes it goes back to normal for a while, one thing i did remember that i changed was a line in audio cable from my main monitor to my blue input audio, so i could hear my ps5 and pc at the same time, when i remove it nothing happens the mouse lag is still there, so i don’t know if that has anything to do with the problem but that’s the only thing that has changed since the mouse lag started, my main monitor is connected via display port so probably has nothing to do with it, you mentioned mouse pad, mine is clean and normal, i still dk if it’s a hardware issue with the input hdmi or something else, tbh just tired of spending hours on this so i’ll try to fix it again later this week. And yes my HD is very very old, don’t even know how it’s still working. And I did go back to a driver version from like may and still the same happened.

[Bruce]

I don’t know what else to add, maybe one of the other members who chimed in has some more ideas.

You’re using multiple monitors of varying refresh rates- if you plug them in separately does the issue follow one of the monitors or cords?

It is a pretty well known issue that varying refresh rates/resolutions can cause strange issues- I didn’t follow in your postings if this is something you had assessed or not.

[drodi4]

I’m using 2 monitors, main (144hz display port), second (75hz HDMI). If I put both at 60hz or 75hz mouse lag still there, if I disconnect the HDMI cable from second monitor mouse lag is gone, if I disconect both and put HDMI on either one of the monitors without the other one, mouse lag comes back, any time HDMI is being used in any monitor, any hz, mouse lag comes back. But when I’m only using the display port on main and second one is off, mouse lag is gone. So pretty much at any setting that I’m actively using HDMI mouse lag is there.

Does your GPU have x2 DP out? That could be worth testing.

[drodi4]

It does not no, it has 1 dp (main monitor), 1 hdmi (second one) and a vga one that’s broken

[Pyro]

Do you have another display card to test with?
