Currently, for all SketchUp (and LayOut) versions that support the new graphics engine, it or the older OpenGL engine can be selected in:
Window > Preferences > Graphics > Graphics Engine
You can also choose the GPU (if the machine also has an integrated GPU) on the same panel.
Nvidia also has some utilities that you can use to tweak the GPU settings.
- The Nivida App
- The Nvidia Control Panel
… etc.
Just a thought. I got a new HDR capable external UHD display and let Windows turn on HDR for it. I got jerky mouse cursor similar to what you describe.
After doing some research, I found that the DisplayPort in my machine was version 1.2 (or 1.2a) which does not support HDR. Switching off HDR in Windows Settings for that display solved the issue.
Is the new problematic Lenovo laptop being used with an external display connected? If so, check that the cable is of good quality. Perhaps switch to another kind of connection (HDMI, DP, etc.) than what was being used.
Another user just shared this (although they are on MacOS) …
At one time I also had jerky mouse after getting my UHD display, and it went away when I bought a mouse of higher resolution. (Now using a M650.)
