[GIGABYTE] INPUT LAG IN BIOS AND WINDOWS

Everything about latency. This section is mainly user/consumer discussion. (Peer-reviewed scientific discussion should go in Laboratory section). Tips, mouse lag, display lag, game engine lag, network lag, whole input lag chain, VSYNC OFF vs VSYNC ON, and more! Input Lag Articles on Blur Busters.

I've never had a mainboard where the mouse driver of the BIOS/UEFI wasn't crap.

Once you boot an OS that has a good mouse driver, the mouse works fine. The UEFI mouse drivers don't seem to be developed that carefully. "It kind of seems to work, ship it!" :P

actually that makes absolute sense. probably they didn't even care about polling rate and are grabbing mouse events in some retarded way

I have the same sluggish mouse behaviour in the bios and in-game, espacially with my new 7800X3d, effect is greatly reduced on a 3900x or 5800x and feels sharper.

Weirdly enough I recall testing a couple different BIOS on my Gigabyte board and some versions had a slightly laggier cursor in the BIOS compared to others, i don’t recall having this issue on my ASRock board. But in my case the cursor was always "usable" in BIOS albeit being a bit unresponsive so nowhere near as severe as you describe.
