Why is my brush playing catch up

Question

Hey guys, so when i use my brush in photoshop, mouse or tablet, its started running behind where it should be. When I research it everyone says brush lag. but i dont have photoshop lag, the canvas size dosent change anything, i've set drawing mode to basic, i turned brush catch up mode on / off it makes no difference. If i draw a line and stop drawing, the line slowly moves towards where it should be, if i speed up so does the brush but it always stays like a second behind.

HELPPP :,(

Have you tried low Smoothing values in the Options Bar?

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Nah all that did was made things look pixels as i zoom out.

Its all good though the problem is fixed with smoothing off
