(btw im on ATI fglrx 8.12)

for me in CoD 'fps_max 0' (limitless with default vsync off) does improve the
laggy feel,
although in halo it does the opposite,
it is quite a little pickle of a problem.

p.s.

Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 has a similar problem (relating to the cursor and
movement leaving the active window and sticking/lagging)
