Full hardware acceleration on the GF6800 = jumpy cursor [hardware acceleration] [hardware cursor]
Q: Since getting this 6800, I had the problem of the mouse cursor is not smooth, or rather that you “see blip” in front and behind when moving across the screen. This happens only when hardware acceleration is powered. Taking down one notch this seems to solve, but it causes the cursor to flicker in 3d games hardware cursor acceleration.
Since my 9700 Pro, I cleaned all old drivers, even installed my chipset drivers, etc. I have the All the way to ForceWare 78.xx tried it. Toggle fast write and AGP 8x either.
However have had no effect, 3D performance is just fine.
My System:
Abit Nf7-S 2.0 u0026 XP3200
1 GB Corsair Geforce 6800 128MB XMS3200
Leadtek AGP
Forceware 81.95

Re:Set AGP aperture to 64mb. no effect.
Just found and tried the PS2 adapter, and it actually seems worse. It does it even without full hardware acceleration enabled.
PSU is a Thermaltake 420W. MBM reads all voltages as being good.
I never did any tweaking on my 9700, so no.
I never had a PCI Latency tool installed beforehand either. I tried using one after I got this card to see if that was the problem, but it didn't help.

Re:First of all, put the AGP Aperature back on default (64Mb) for now until you finish troubleshooting this. Many mobo/vid card combinations will have all kinds of issues with non-standard AGP aperature settings.
Is the mouse on a USB port? If so try it on a PS/2 port (you probably have an adapter lying around). Be curious to see if that helps.
I am willing to suspect that the video card is hogging the AGP bus (possibly due to the aperature setting?). If so, it's not just affecting the mouse. It may not even be affecting the mouse directly but it may be causing Windows to stutter while the bus is flooded.
Do you have a quality PSU on this rig? Could be the PSU is having a problem holding stable voltage on one of the rails with the extra current draw of the 6800. Might be worth swapping out the PSU (never hurts to have a spare PSU on the shelf anyway).
Do you have any tweaking software installed for the old 9700? Could be causing problems.
Are you using the PCI Latency Tool to modify the default PCI latency for the video card? If so, could be the new card doesn't like it. Set it back to the default.
Hope this helps…

Re:It wasn't any better or worse @ 128mb, and the USB port that the mouse is on isn't on the same IRQ.
I did notice some stuttering in the dxdiag bouncing box test the first run through.

Re:aperture size for a larger card should be 64mb, as it can store most of the textures in the vc memory. its a myth that larger agp memory helps.

Re:It's just a microsoft intellimouse explorer. (the white one with grey buttons on the side) It doesn't have any drivers. I believe my AGP aperture is 256.

Re:What type is your mouse, does it have its own drivers, sounds like conflict to me. Also, what is the size of your agp aperture in BIOS?
