Any of you confirm that when moving the mouse in circles large or small when steam is downloading a game that the mouse lags and stutters on occasion but is fine if you pause the download or stop it?

Just wana know im not alone with this problem as id hate to think the mouse is dying after just buying it a week or two ago.
 
Sounds like you having DPC latency issues. Download latencymon and check to see if you getting lag spikes when downloading.

It will pin point the driver, could be USB driver, mouse driver or network driver.
 
is it wireless? one of my old logitech mouse used to get wierd and laggy when ever I was transferring files over wifi to a laptop but it was fine when I plugged a network cable between them.
I've always had my pc hardwired to the router or with that mouse I probably would have experienced it whenever I were downloading

I guess the routers wifi channel interfered with the mouse signal, maybe try changing the channel on your router to a different frequency ?

No its wired.

Hmm latencymon, is it easy to use or figure out what the data means, not really had a look at it.

Yer just run the program, continue to use PC and see if you get spikes. it will then show the driver witch is giving high spikes. and see if you can update the driver etc
 
some programs cause huge dpc spikes but don't actually effect performance.

gigabytes easytune used to and I guess most other programs that take sensor readings do to
 
So apparently its saying. "your system appears to have problems handling real time audio and other tasks, you may experiance drop outs, clicks or pops due to buffer underruns. One problem maybe related to power managment, disable cpu throttling in control panel and bios.

Could it be the asus dg unified driver? I picked the lowest dpc of the options for it.

About drivers section you mentioned, what numbers am i suppose to be looking at exactly and what is considered high? Is it ISR count, DPC count? etc?
 
mines fine

whats your highest reported DPC and ISR caused by?

EDIT FFS closing firefox with iplayer running caused that spike!
 
okay heres mine watching a video for a minute on vlc player

after I pressed print screen woo it all lit up red and claimed I should have popping issues again when my system is 100% fine so don't take everything this says as fact unless the latency bars are constantly high

Click on the driver tab and see what is making the spike happen.
 


Just having The Secret world updating a 1gb update atm and general web browsing and having a chat on steam with a mate.

when you say "asus dg unified driver" are you referring to the Uni Xonar drivers (i.e. not the asus ones)? I used them and find them good. I think it came with a latency checker too... could be mistaken though.

that software looks good. might give it a go tonight and see if anything is playing up.

ignore my edit... chatting **** again xD

googled the process and it belongs to latencymon :p

Thats not an issue lol yours is less then 1ms execution time. Anything above 1ms or higher is where you start to see issues.

Sound lag, Mouse and keyboard lag, network drop outs etc.

Your system is running fine, OP isn't if you look at his screenshots.
 
yea he means the xonar drivers they are perfectly fine for me, it's not likely a latency issue with his comp anyway or it wouldn't just be his mouse movies and stuff would have skipping audio sometimes
 
@OP
Is your system drivers, motherboard, network and sound drivers, mouse and keyboard all upto date?

It only takes one bad driver to mess up the DPC latency.
 


I closed the previous run through so heres a shot of it with HE section showing and filtered to show highest first.

I downloaded a few sam and max games on steam in hopes it picked the problem up, the mouse defo was stuttery when doing circles when downloading on steam so i hope its showing in this screenie.

Afaik all drivers and windows is up to date.

Your DPC is low on the drivers, Ndis.sys is related to the network driver but its below the 1ms time.
So it looks like its not a Driver issue, but something else your interrupt is quite high but for that I not sure how you diagnose.
