Mouse lag in Oblivion (yet another Oblivion thread!)

SiD the Turtle · 28 Mar 2006 at 21:23

So I just started up Oblivion an I have an annoying mouse lag issue. I get this in Far Cry and enabling VSync in the game gets rid of it. Is there a similar option in Oblivion or on my graphics card? I can't seem to find anything.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have an nVidia graphics card? As some people have reported that altering an option in the control panel has fixed this for them

Possible speed increase for nVidia graphics cards

A lot of people are reporting speed increases by doing the following:
Install coolbits (this gives a few extra options in the display control panel)
Upgraded to 84.25 Drivers

Change "Max frames to render ahead" from 3 to 0 (in Additional Direct3D Settings) in the nVidia driver control panel. Note this will only help if you play with vSync disabled.

Nope, I have an ATI 9800XT. I found the option for Vsync. Didn't help

Ah ha! I found the equivalent option for in ATI tray tools:

I set 'flip queue size' to 0. No more lag for me!

Thanks for the pointer, it put me on the right track.

filp queue size to 0 cause stutter in some games like battlefield 2
