Dual monitor cursor lag

[Morzie]

I've never had this problem before, though i have never used dual monitors on a computer before, but when i have dual monitors the cursor lags, jumps around and doesn't respond for a split second, this mainly happens on my second monitor but is now happening on both and seems to be getting progressively worse, it also affects games causing them to lag, even though i have the game windowed on one monitor. I am running a NVIDIA GTX680

hi ive had this problem before what mouse are you using? have you checked for driver updates? i use various mouses like trust. Microsoft. gigabyte. i uninstalled my trust mouse driver and reinstalled and the problem stopped. im running 3 monitors.

logitech performance MX, i'll try updating the drivers didn't think of that but it'll be interesting to see if that fixes the game lag

updating the drivers didn't fix the problem but i don't seem to be having any more issues, though games still seem to lag a little, just wondering if the monitors being different resolutions would be having an impact?

have a look in the game settings for the control settings for the mouse.

it's not the mouse lagging in game anymore it's just the game overall lagging

shut down any programs you don't need running on the pc when you are gaming especially graphic ones etc.

my pc runs games extremely well, i'm certain that it's not a lack of processing power, but as soon as i plugged in the extra monitor all my games seem to have a slight amount of lag

do you need the other monitors on while gaming? i mean are you multitasking i dont have lag when i play games with my 3 monitors all on. they flicker sometimes i can watch tv on 1 game on 1 and have a web browser open on 1 all at the same time. what graphics card are you using?

 

[Morzie]

GeForce GTX 680 is a good card so i would not of thought it would be this if you are all up to date on the drivers.
