Mouse stuttering/skipping in zoomed ironsights/scopes

Recommended Posts

Basically, non-zoomed views are extremely smooth no matter what the smoothing is set to. As soon as I zoom in on an iron sight, or a scope, or even in third person, my aim will skip a few centimeters every half a second or so. Disabling smoothing doubles/triples the skipping to one inch+.

Have tried lowering mouse resolution to 800 DPI from 3200; switching pre-rendered frames in nvidia control panel from 8 to 0; disabling vsync and triple buffering; lowering video settings to all low; and disabling SLi.

Unsure of what to do next. FPS is around 40-60 not zoomed, 30-38 zoomed. I understand FPS can be an issue, but having played on an awful system for years, I never had this issue even with fps in the teens and jumping from 15-50 constantly.

I did notice that the skipping got worse when the fillrate was set to 150%. (framerate stayed about the same as 100% fillrate, however)

Specs:

EVGA X58 SLI

Core i7 920 (stock)

6 GB DDR3 1333 RAM

zotac GTX 295

Steelseries World of Warcraft gaming mouse (have tried my older Razer as well to no avail)

I understand that there's a lot of issues with the i7/295 combo and A2, but I didn't put this in the general "poor performance" thread because I'm not entirely sure this is performance or hardware related.

Kinda-sorta fixed by forcing polling rate to 1000hz/s from 500hz/s.

It's still unusable without smoothing maxed out, but at least it's playable for the most part now. Still looking for a more permanent solution though.

Rehashing an old post here since I have nearly the same rig and am experiencing the same FPS drop when scoped, but with certain guns only. I've noticed it with the ACOG/M203 combo and the AK-107 scoped version and the XM8. Everything is fine as long as I don't scope and as soon as I do it's goes to hell. It, sometimes, also lingers. Meaning the FPS drop stays, rarely, but sometimes stays after I unscope. Tried all the suggested nVidia fixes here and still have a scoped in issue. Can use the M16, M4 and regular AK's just fine. Hope they can figure something out.

Try going to nVidia control panel -> Manage 3D settings, and make sure that Ambient Occlusion and Anti-Aliasing Transparency are turned off. Also make sure that Anisotropic Filtering and Anti-Aliasing are on application controlled.
