Windows 10: Windows 10 FPS drop when moving Mouse

Good evening,I have been using a Logitech G402 for the past few years and never had an issue.However it's now been a week since my fps started to drop everytime i would moove my mouse in a video game.The drivers are all up to date and I have lowered the Poll rate in hopes it would solve my case but it didn't.When I switch mouse the problem seems to stop. I however need to use this one and am struggling to find a solution.If anyone has any idea i'll try anything !Thank you so much,Lester :

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.

 

FPS drop on Windows 10

what is the model of your laptop. What graphic drivers do you have installed? Can you list a game or two where you measured the FPS drop?

 

drop fps every game
