Mouse Lag / Camera turning lag

Cggraham3

Hey guys,

So I recently upgraded my graphics card to a Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 (which is far better than my old card), but now for some reason when I play Sims 4 my mouse lags when I move it (like it stutters and jumps, it doesn't just flow in a straight line) and my camera when I turn it also generates some lag.

Does anyone know why this is? Moreso the mouse lag. I can't stand to play when my mouse keeps stuttering around.

I'm not having this problem but I don't have a 1070. I don't think the card is the issue. I have the camera lag when turning tho.

Have you make sure that you have turned on V-sync on?

My laptop also has a 1070, and the game runs flawlessly. It sounds like your problem might be more mouse related - do you have a special gaming mouse with it's own software (I.E. Razer) and do you have access to try a different mouse, or a different connection method? (Bluetooth vs USB wireless adapter, etc)

I've had a problem with NVidia's drivers for the 1070 interfering with my keyboard/trackpad, perhaps you're having a similar issue.

Hello
Try seeing if the same mouse lagging issues occur when playing in windowed or full windowed mode.

Try seeing if altering the graphics settings helps with the issue.

I have the GTX 1080.. runs fine here.
Do make sure you have vertical sync enabled in Nvidia control panel. Is the mouse battery/Bluetooth or USB?
If USB try another port. Also if this was a gpu upgrade did you replace or check your power supply?
Keep in mind camera stutter/lag is normal when zoomed out and scrolling.

Haha wow, such a small oversight on my part! Thanks everyone for the suggestions--turned out to be the fact that my Vsync was off. I appreciate the help! Now I can finally play without ripping my hair out.
