I've been having this problem for a while now and it's really starting to bother me.

Basically, whenever I move my mouse quickly for longer periods of time my frame latency will spike very hard
and it makes playing almost impossible.

I heard of other people having similar issues and tried looking for a thread addressing this issue but all I could find were over two years old. I've read that high polling rates are to blame for this but I play on 1000 Hz polling rate which is by no means high.

I've tried everything from simply changing my video settings to completely wiping clean my game folder and reinstalling the game but nothing seems to fix the problem. I don't want to play below 1000 polling rate because it can be disadvantageous.

And yes, I am on the newest graphics drivers for my card (RTX3060 12GB)

osu! version: Cutting Edge 20250401

have you tried reducing your polling rate? normally this is a U bottleneck and not GPU

I have now created a new mouse profile with lower polling rate which fixed it but it's kinda annoying to have to change mouse profiles just to play osu every time. But if that's what it takes so it shall be.

Guess we'll have to wait for a U upgrade xD

Thanks for pointing out the bottleneck, it's a prebuilt from about two years ago and I swore never to get a prebuilt pc ever again because of various other problems I've had with it as well.
