My mouse is a Razer Abyssus at 1000hz polling rate, infact if i turn the polling rate down it stutters even more.
If the fps is locked to 60 or 120, always the mouse is fine.
This is getting weird.
That's interesting, I don't remember anyone reporting similar issues with any of those games. What are your system specs?

It sounds like your mouse settings are bad. Are you using mouse smoothing, acceleration, or anything else like that? I know Razer has options to use non-native mouse DPI which could also be messing it up.

Nothing to do with mouse, happens on multiple mouses, multiple pcs and doesnt happen with gsync off in these games, its the games and gsync itself.

I've never had any of those problems in Tomb Raider. I don't have the other games. It sounds very similar to the effects of using poorly programed mouse smoothing or acceleration that is dependent on frame rate.

Its not every game that this happens, some games are amazing regardless of framerate, others just get an odd hitchy camera when the fps is in the 72-89 fps zone for some reason. Splinter Cell, Tomb Raider, A bit of Hitman Absoloution, Hard Reset.

However Sleeping Dogs, Resident Evil 6, F3AR are all fine regardless of the fps, so no idefa.

I know that Hard Reset's engine (also used in Shadow Warrior) is known to not run smoothly. Tomb Raider has been one of the smoothest running games I have ever played on my system both with my old GTX 760 and my new GTX 970.
