Windows 10: Fps drops while moving mouse

Hello after factory resetting my pc i get fps drops while moving my mouse. I searched all over google to find fix for my problem. I've found plenty of sites or other people experience and what they've done they said lowering mouse pulling rate might fix it. But before factory resetting my pc i could play every game at 4000hz mouse pulling rate and now i can barely play at 1000hz pulling rate. So lowering my pulling rate isn't going to solve my problem. I think there is some kind of setting in pc that makes those fps drops while moving mouse. I have really powerful pc with rtx 3090, i7-13700f,

:)

 

Windows 10 FPS drop when moving Mouse

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to help, as per checking your concern, the FPS drop you are getting is due to an incompatible driver or the mouse needs an update, to fix the issue, you may follow the steps from the link below, in addition, your concern is similar to what describe from the link:

Windows 11 FPS drops when moving mouse / screen in some games.

Recently I bought an Asus Zephyrus Duo 16,

great laptop, could run pretty much anything with good fps,



Apex, which is the main game I played would run at 180~ fps constant almost all the time with occasional dips in certain areas,

but nonetheless the game ran perfect.



However, recently after moving my setup (and also changing monitors from 2560x1440 @ 240Hz to 1920x1080 @ 165Hz) I noticed that, specifically in Apex i've been getting awful fps drops, only when moving my mouse,

which results in sluggish gameplay and almost like my sensitivity changes, making the game unplayable.



I haven't really tweaked any settings since moving my setup, and the GPU and CPU temps are fine (up to 85~ for CPU and 75 for GPU).

However, when moving my mouse in game the frame dips from a constant 163 FPS to 130, 110, sometimes even 50 FPS. Although, locking my FPS to 60 fps completely gets rid of the issue, but I really need the higher FPS.



That being said, actual CPU and GPU utilisation does not change whatsoever.

Also, when I stop moving my mouse the performance is smooth.

I've already tried setting a lower polling rate, my power plan is set to best performance, and Asus Turbo mode is on. I don't think it's a problem with my mouse or laptop specifically, as I've changed polling rates and used other mice with no effect and this issue seems to only affect Apex.
I have also tried uninstalling my NVidia and AMD drivers, reinstalled latest drivers, still didn't work and even rolled back a few updates and yet it just won't work.

Any ideas?



Update: I noticed that this issue is replicated in Black Ops 2, same story- 500~ fps and drops to 100, and in Overwatch I have general fps drops not related to mouse movement. In games which rely much less on GPU power, such as Minecraft, I don't really notice an effect, so I'm not sure anymore.
