sometimes my mouse will "lag" across my screen
anyone know what might cause this.. It also seems my text i am typing right now is doing the same thing!

Any idea at what hertz your monitor is running at? It may effect the response time between the mouse movement and the visual movement you see on the screen.

I'm running at 180 Hertz, probably damaging my monitor but, the response time is amazing...

how do i change this?

Start - Control panel - Display - Settings - Advanced - Monitor.

Should be under that tab.

Word of warning however, running it at a setting which your monitor is not supposed to support may damage it.

it says 60 hertz and thats all it offers

p.s. do you have xfire?

if you a a normal monitor 85 HZ should be enough, if you have a TFT then even 72 Hz are okay.

EDIT: TFTs always "lag" because they arent as fast as normal monitors.

I run my monitor at 75Hz. It works just fine like that. You don't want to push your monitor to hard because they cost $300 dollars for a decent one and they don't shutdown like a processor when they are overworked. Make sure scan your system. You could have a virus thats taking up to much resources.
