[Solved] *Any* movement from mouse causes severe FPS drop?
When I move my mouse, the FPS drops horrendously. It's not a rendering issue, it's simply when I'm moving the mouse fast. It happens in the pause menu, radio wheel, pretty much any time. I've read about CPU bottlenecks but everything ran fine until recently and I don't really understand how a CPU would cause this. It happens online as well. The only way to play at a steady 60FPS is with a controller and mine stopped connecting the other day. Any fixes? :/

Specs:
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060
CPU: i-7 8700
RAM: 16GB (2600)


Resolution: I'm an idiot lol. I needed to update my GPU drivers. So far it's not dropping anymore.

Try changing mouse input type in settings.
Also pc specs?

Forgot to say I tried all that. Including the "Filter Keys" stuff combined with the input type.

So it happens specifically in pause menu and such? If yes, then enable Vsync. Game has issues when you have higher fps.

Honestly I've had these peripherals for about 4.5 years so I'd say so LOL

I've also done the Vsync thing and it didn't seem to make a difference. I've never actually had issues with Vsync from any game, at least to my memory.

Also the RTX series is very quirky on producing oddball issues like this (not bashing your set up at all btw just saying it can produce oddities compared to other gpus out there)

For your controller what is it doing besides just not connecting and have you tried to see if your computer recognizes it elsewhere and not just a gta thing ?

It's quite alright I've heard that before actually! GTA seems to be the only game that drops as poorly as it does. I was just playing Desperados III and I moved the mouse around violently but it only dropped to like 56fps. It's a PS4 controller (using DS4 Windows) and the charging port needs to be bent a specific way for any connection to be made. So I can really only use it to charge for my PS4 now.

I'm just baffled because this wasn't an issue before this summer and nothing has really been changed :// It seems to only really affect GTA too, Red Dead Redemption II runs at a solid 56-60 the whole time. I'll look more into my GPU though, maybe I can tweak the control panel.

Thanks everyone for the input so far!
