    Well, I have a VPCF126FM and everygame I play there is a input lag, the game run on normal speed (no freezing), what should I do?

    ps: I've been trying to play Just Cause 2, R.U.S.E, GTA4...

    You probably have vsync forced on in nVidia control panel. That or you have vsync on in the games you tested.

    I never noticed mouse input lag before with vsync on my desktop PC but it made Mass Effect 2 unplayable for me on my F12 so I had to turn it off.

    Well, it's not vsync, but I tested the game with fraps and got 30fps, the game runs well but there is like 1sec delay

    Don't do that dope anymore!

    sorry for this useless post, i just couldn't stand it :)
    You should try some older games like Q3 to see if its really not up to the CPU or GPU

    Lastest nvidia driver...
    Well, I don't have Quake...

    BTW if I put all the settings of RUSE on lowest the game runs at 100 FPS and the game runs OK, but it becomes ugly!
    The RAM and CPU never became in maximum utilization, how do I check the GPU utilization?
    PPS:Is there some way to change the nvidia drive to a newer one, like 400m series?
