Mouse Stuttering After Upgrading GPU

Hey there. I just installed an AMD 6750 XT, which replaced my 3060 Ti. I was able to get everything to work, except my mouse (a wireless Logitech) is now having problems. Basically, it stutters heavily when moving. If a video is playing on any of my monitors, it even causes the videos to stutter as well.
- I first tried restarting the mouse, and plugging it into different USB ports.
- I tried plugging in a different wireless mouse (an old wireless Microsoft mouse), and it worked just fine.
- I assumed it was a problem with the Logitech, but when I plug my Logitech into my laptop (also running Arch) it works flawlessly.
- When I open any video game in Steam, the Logitech mouse works fine.

Could anyone lend a hand? Thanks.

Re: Mouse Stuttering After Upgrading GPU

Check whether https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mouse_polling_rate is different between the MS and Logitech rodent.

Other stuff:
Did you *only* change the HW or also update/install any SW along?
Edit: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=286867 - you messed around a lot…
If it wasn't fro the MS rodent, I'd bet on the HW cursor being a problem of sorts.
Edit #2: and post your xorg log.

Are there any messages in "dmesg -W" from moving the mouse (or just its presence)?
Bluetooth or unified receiver? Can you use the mouse wired?
Do you also use a wifi network?
"any of my monitors", is any of them attached via USB? What if you remove all but one?

When I open any video game in Steam, the Logitech mouse works fine.

I'd suggest to try Option "SWcursor" "True", but that does entirely not fit w/ the MS mouse condition.

Hey, thanks for the response. I actually decided to just switch back to my 3060 Ti since the 6750 XT was giving me too many different problems, and I decided it's not worth the hours of investment I'll likely need for a 10-15% performance boost lol.
But thanks anyways, I really appreciate you reaching out!
