Hi, I've always had a little bit of trouble on this game on my second computer. When I play TF2 I get a good 45-50 FPS at all times, but it feels like I'm getting 15-20 or so. I can see everything just fine, but the aiming is really, really choppy. It keeps skipping and feels all around choppy. It makes the aiming really difficult, I've played around with the graphics settig by turning on and off Vsync, playing with Multicore rendering, and mouse filtering. None of which made a difference. Anyone know what may be wrong?
Please post full system specs.
Network lag? Or is it on every server you go on (including lan)
Turn off multicore rendering

Oh nevermind, i should read the full post for once :sigh:
Is your screen refresh rate low? Does your screen have a long input delay over 5ms? Is your mouse not at full battery or somewhat defect?
Is the framerate stable or does it jump around, for example going from 60 to 25 and back to 60 in a couple seconds' time?
Constant 40 fps can feel a lot smoother than a higher but unstable average framerate.

Over 5ms isn't "long".
I'm on a gaming laptop, the system specs aren't great. It's got an ATI Radeon 3650, AMD Dual Core 2.2 GHz processor, 4 GB of RAM, and I run Windows 7. I've tried using an external monitor and had the same problem, so I'm sure it's not the refresh rate. I use a corded mouse, Logitech G5 if that makes any difference. It's not network lag as it's for every server I'm on, because I just tried hosting one locally and had the same problem. My framerate can be awfully jumpy sometimes, but even when waiting in an area such as the spawn room where I get a solid 60 the aim jumps around. Hope this helps, and thanks to anyone trying to help me with my problem.
Also; the refresh rate of my monitor is 8ms, not short but not long.
the aiming only you say? Have you tried aiming with your touch pad thing? I know you can't play with that but maybe you can check whether your touch pad does react fine.

Yes it's only the aiming, maps, other players, my model, stuff like that work just fine. And I just tried using the touch pad, just tracing slow circles results in a little bit of jerky movement.
Just something to try, I dunno if it'll help or not, but in some laptops they have power-saving features that underclock the processor when doing light tasks to save battery life. Look for any of those features in the BIOS and turn them off.
It appears to be happening in select games now, TF2 and Dead Space specifically. It doesn't happen in games like L4D2, Modern Warfare 2, Oblivion, games like that.
Benchmark TF2 with fraps.
Also record temps. My ye olde laptop used to have a choppy framerate for the first 10 minutes of any game I played.
Turn Vsync off.
Try uninstalling mouse drivers and see if it works any better.
