Noob Question

My buddy's computer used the CPU for video processing and he was getting very poor frame rates so I convinced him to add a graphics card (Radeon 6000 series). That dramatically improved his frame rate by almost 3X but now his mouse is stuttering. I told him to check his mouse settings (Windows 7) but I'm wondering if there was something I should have done to "turn off" the graphics processing in the CPU (dual core Pentium).

Any thoughts?
 
A few questions:
- When is this mouse stuttering occurring precisely? In a game(s)? Which ones?
- What is the frame rate when this is happening?
- Is vsync on or off?
 
I'm afraid I don't have a lot of good answers at the moment, but I'll be able to get them in a couple of days. What I know at the moment is that his frame rate before the new card was about 17 fps,now its something like 47 fps. The stuttering happens at the 47 fps rate

The game is an online tank battle; unfortunately I don't know the name, but I can find out.

And I guess the key question; "What is vsync?"
