Question

Posted (edited)

At first, it looks like my computer is at least acceptable for gaming, but that's not true, because if I don't play at the lowest resolutions, my mosue lags like hell. You could say that it's because I have a wireless mouse, but it's the mobile version of the new Logitech Darkfield ones, and I don't think any kind of receiver delay would increase or decrease with different resolutions. It's clear that I have to play CoD at 800x600 or 720x400 and it works fine, but I deal with slighter, yet constant mouse lag in Source games no matter how much I decrease the resolution, and if I don't play DoD:S at 1400x900 then I can't see anyone well enough for a headshot. This needs to be fixed if I'm not to get my ass handed to me in assaults or any clutch moments in my games.

Got any ideas? So far I've ordered a cooler master notepal and I'm going to get a can-o-air (snowing right now), to take care of the overheating making it worse. I've also uninstalled my mouse drivers and got a new config that stops unnecessary things from taking up resources (1st MRB config), but it lowers lerp and increases update rate, so it was a good trade-off but not a solution to the resources being taken. I also noticed that taking a lot of my startup programs out helped, and I'm looking into turning off services.

If the coolermaster doesn't fix it, should I go as far as looking for a not-norton antivirus? Maybe if my lag goes away I can do more than spam with the Garand or shoot stationary targets. If you see me playing and aren't on an MG, don't stop and aim, I'm a good shot, just dance around like you have to piss really bad and shoot. The faster you shoot, the more dynamic lights appear, and that's also a huge advantage.

Norton is a terrible anti-virus and a huge resource hog. I'd recommend AVG, Avira, or Malware-Bytes.

What do you mean by "mouse lag?" Do you mean that when you move the mouse, it takes a while for the computer to register it, or that it's harder to move your view when in-game at higher resolutions?
