Nvidia mouse polling (aussie.zone)

Hi there, I have a quick question regarding my system and mouse lag with nvidia proprietary drivers on X11 using OBS with NVENC.

My system runs great with red dead redemption 2 for around 40 minutes until I begin to lose frames when mouse looking. I can leave the mouse and perform intensive graphical actions and it still runs perfectly without mouse input.

I assume it might be a misconfiguration on the mouse or a known bug with nvidia but am unsure of exactly where to begin looking and/or what terminology I should use to Web search the problem.

Could anyone please point me in the right direction?

If it's time-based, then you have a memory issue. You're probably getting the slowdown from the kernel OOMKilling things as fast as possible to keep the system alive.

Ok, that makes sense, thank you I'll have a look next time I'm on my PC
