I've been having some trouble with my gaming experience, and it's starting to frustrate me. Even though I consistently get over 200 FPS and my monitor refresh rate is set to 165Hz, everything feels blurry and not smooth when I move around in-game or even just on my desktop. It's like the gameplay is fast but lacks that smoothness. It can be hard to track enemies and see where shots are going, especially compared to other players who seem to have buttery-smooth gameplay.
I'm wondering if it could be related to my hardware, like the power supply or even a USB cable affecting performance? Also, are there any BIOS settings I should check that could help smooth things out? My setup is:
- Monitor: Dell G2724D 165Hz
- PC:
- R9 9950X
- Asus 5070TI TUF
- Kingston Fury BEAST RGB 32GB 6000MT/s (x2)
- MSI X870E Tomahawk
- Cooler Master V850 Gold V2

It does sound like you might be experiencing motion blur issues. Check if there are any in-game settings related to motion blur that could be causing this effect. Some games have these options, and turning them off might help.
Another thing to look at is your mouse settings. If you have an 8K mouse, try switching it to 1000Hz. Sometimes, higher polling rates can introduce issues depending on the game and your setup. Also, consider taking a screen recording to really identify the issue.
First, double-check that your monitor is set to 165Hz in your Windows settings. Sometimes it defaults to a lower refresh rate. Also, consider the mouse you're using; some cheap models can stutter, leading to the choppy feeling you're experiencing.
It's possible your monitor's pixel response time might be causing a motion blur effect. If it's a little slow, it can definitely make fast-moving images look less clear. Just something to think about!
Also, make sure G-Sync is active. It might not affect the mouse pointer, but it can help in-game.
