Went from 19'' 1600x900 to 27'' 1920x1080, screen lag (or mouse polling rate)

#1

The monitor is 60hz and its the same brand as my old monitor which had excellent colors and it was very smooth. But now when I play games even 60 fps doesn’t feel as smooth. The monitor has a 2ms draw time which is pretty fucking fast.

Could this be an issue with my mouse being a bit too sensitive for such a big area? Or could my mouse (polling rate?) be slower on this shitty mouse and more noticeable on a big screen? Could it be more touchy now? I understand that adding 30k more pixels can slow my fps down, but I even lowered a few settings to keep it at 60 fps and I can’t tell if its the monitor or my view panning across a more complex/busy area.

How is it when playing videos? Surely if it was a monitor problem videos would have the same effect.

Well I realized that when jumping in place or riding in a helicopter in BF3 without moving my mouse is perfectly smooth im sure its just a mouse issue… going to have to find a decent mouse that has different speeds for a good price

not smooth as in how? does it seem like the mouse is jerky?

#5

I got a razer naga and changed the polling rate to 1000Hz and I already see an improvement

Before 60 fps didnt even look like 60 fps because my mouse didnt update fast enough when I turned/aimed
