If you are running the default white pointer, change it to something

code paths, such that the alternative pointers receive less hardware

The other thing you can try is changing the "Full Screen 3D" brightness
and
contrast settings in Catalyst Control Center.

Using anything but the default mouse pointer can cause issues in some
games.

Really? I've never heard this before. I've been using the "3D" pointer since
Win '95 and I've never had a problem with any game I've played. JLC
