Extreme lag on start-up and in-game

[Kookaburra]

So I know it's nothing wrong with my laptop as it is only a month or two old and has decent components, as well as every other game functioning great...

Just downloaded audiosurf, go to start it up, music plays and then I move the mouse and the music goes all laggy as well as the mouse movement. This lasts for about 3 or so minutes then becomes bearable, but as soon as the map opens to ride a song, it starts doing it again

I have no idea why this happens, it's not even a complex game...

Any ideas D: ?

what is would say is when you choose your character click the top left corner it shoud be the "Options" tab, select quality then goto lowest. if this dosent help its either you graphics card or one of your drivers or matbe your processor idk im just shooting at horse shoes for you right now best thing if your able to drive is take your laptop to best buy or any game repair store they should have a better i dea of whats wrong.

Nah its definitely not those, my other games which are much more complex perform great. Don't know what it was in the end but it just started working properly one day

I've got the same issue. OC'd 560ti and i5 2500k @ 4.5 gHz should not cause this sort of lag. I personally have to lower the resolution to 1024x768 instead of 1920x1080, and I'm able to play Battlefield 3 in 1920x1080.
