Windows 8.1 mouse locked at 30fps on 60fps monitor

On my PC I am able to play a couple of games at 60fps, and my monitor refresh rate is 60fps. However, when I move my mouse around on the desktop and drag Windows from one place to another it's kind of choppy; it looks like it's moving at 30fps to me. I notice on certain YouTube videos some people's mice move incredibly smooth. How do I accomplish this, is it a setting in Windows? (My mouse is completely usable, its just strange how it doesn't look very smooth). I do not have mouse precision on.
