Sensitivity feels different when playing 6s

My sensitivity tends to generally feel a lot higher than what I'm used to in pubs/HL when I'm playing 6s. My best lead to the issue might be that I get more frames when I'm playing 6s (my FPS is capped at 60 and I average 40ish in pubs/HL). I'm using a Zowie FK with raw input on, mouse acceleration off, EPP off, etc. Has anyone experienced this and have a fix for it?

turn off raw input, fps wont affect on your sensitivity too much.

probably no fix for it besides either uncapping your fps and hoping to get above 60 always, or get a better computer/get an fps config

Do you play in windowed mode? This generally seems to affect my sensitivity adversely, so try playing full-screen if you are windowed.

cap it at 40 if youre used to 40 i suppose, or just cap it at something you'll always get if you need consistency

No, I play full screened.

Devoncap it at 40 if youre used to 40 i suppose, or just cap it at something you'll always get if you need consistency

I've tried this before in the past and didn't feel a difference except that the game runs unbearably choppier. I know a few people that play with worse/fluctuating FPS than me that don't seem to have this issue so I'm not quick to make the conclusion that it's completely FPS related.

just make a config that lowers your settings while you're in pubs then
or lower it in general

turning off hdr also helps

that part is true. but the second half is silly. his sens obviously isn't different, it just feels different when ur fps is really low and jumping around randomly

So turn off raw input and try capping my FPS at 40?

After turning off raw input/capping my FPS at 40, it feels more all over the place. My sensitivity felt higher when I joined one server than when I joined another and it didn't simply differentiate itself b/w pubbing and 6s. The best way to describe it is it feels like mouse acceleration is randomly turning on. Anyone else have any more advice?

Any way you can get a computer that isn't a wooden box? A "decent" one for TF2 shouldn't set you back too much.

Does anyone know if mouse acceleration negates or stacks on top of mouse acceleration? I swear with raw input on I feel negative accel and with raw input off I get varying instances of mouse accel. Would possibly installing something like the QL mouse accel driver negate this? just a thought...
