Struggling with constant frame drops? Lower your mouses polling rate.

  • So I have been struggling with frame drops for the past week. My game would stay at a steady 50fps and suddenly drop down to 6-8fps at random. I tried everything to fix it, reinstalling, updating drivers, lowering graphics, nothing worked. Until I lowered my mouses polling rate. I had heard this could solve my problem and it worked!

    Just wanted to help spread this info so anyone with the same issue might be able to solve it. Happy sailing!

  • Ok I lowered mine

    I read a quick article on pros and cons and have concluded that I can literally understand what a wild animal is thinking with more accuracy than accurately processing what I just read so I am trusting you on this.

  • @multikl yeah happened to me when i got a new mouse that by default was at an insanely high polling rate.

    The extreme polling rates can have a tendency to bog down your cpu
