Having a higher frame rate than 60 will cause the mouse to not register slower movements.

Mouse acceleration

Mouse Acceleration • Link The solution to this problem is to cap your framerate to 60. You can use Vsync to accomplish this but Vsync causes input lag. Other solution is to use a program like Dxtory to cap the FPS to 60 and then turn off Vsync. To cap your FPS with Dxtory go to the advanced tab (microchip). Then checkmark "Limit Video FPS" and set the number to 60.
