My game starts stuttering when I move my mouse around
I happened the other day, where my game would start stuttering when I was flicking or just looking around. It doesn't happen if I stop moving my mouse. I checked my polling rate, raw input buffer or nvidia low latency. My drivers are also updated. Any suggestions for a solution?

Mouse stuttering issues in VALORANT can be quite frustrating. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
1. Polling Rate: Even though you checked it, try reducing your mouse polling rate to 500Hz or 250Hz. Sometimes higher polling rates can cause stuttering.
2. Disable Overlay Programs: Close any overlay programs like Discord, NVIDIA ShadowPlay, or any other screen recording software as they can interfere with game performance.
3. Adjust In-Game Settings: Lower your in-game graphics settings or disable 'Raw Input Buffer'. Sometimes these settings can cause conflicts leading to stutter.
4. Test Different Ports: Plug your mouse into a different USB port. Occasionally, certain USB ports can experience interrupts causing stutter.
5. Check Background Processes: Make sure no intensive background processes are running which might be taking up CPU resources.
6. Windows Performance Settings: Ensure your PC’s power settings are set to 'High Performance'.
7. Update BIOS and Chipset Drivers: Ensure your motherboard BIOS and chipset drivers are up to date as they can sometimes resolve underlying hardware communication issues.
If none of these steps work, you may want to refer to the Riot Games support link:
