do dpi's with the same in/360 change anything?

title is a bit oddly worded couldn't add more due to the text limit, but I wanted to know would there be any difference between 1600dpi with 1.62 in game and 800dpi with 3.24 in game, both are 6.3in per 360

sensitivity 12.0 with 800DPI and 6.0 1600DPI you will see a diffrence.

To DPI
Your cursor will move 1600 pixels on screen when you move your mouse by 1 inch. So more DPI doesn't mean better acc.

Maybe it can help you when you use 30.0 in-game sens and 800DPI.

Rather than an experimental video this is a video of an engineer from Logitech talking about the science behind it.

There is also the fact depending on the sensor/sensor implementation of each mouse. From what I know the PMW3360 anything above 2100 have 32 (6.4ms) frames of smoothing while everything below only has 2 frames (0.4ms) of smoothing. For the 3366 (exclusively from Logitech and is considered the top sensor) has 2 frames of smoothing for all DPIs (not sure to believe this just going off a trusted reddit post) I would go ON AND ON about this shit just because I'm a huge mouse nerd but heres the reddit post

Depends on the sensor, in a good sensor it shouldn’t matter too much, but is some bad ones it does make a difference, so your best bet is to use the mouses default dpi

Yes technically speaking native is better, which for the most part is the lowest default one available for older mice, but with the current tech in sensors (PMW 3366, 3360 3689, 3988/9, Sensor Mercury, even 3310) the issue pretty much does not exist. Smoothing being the biggest of issues with older sensors as it generates processing latency (currently very few ms for most sensors under 2000dpi) and can also alter expected results due to the increased sensitivity of the sensor itself to a "pixel." It is explained in the video explained from 1:30 to about 4:15 but if you don't want to watch that here's a quote from Senior Engineer at Logitech Francois Morier, "...and then at a point you reach a level where your pixel has not enough information to give reliable tracking and then that's the reason why rising the DPI is against the logic of performance."
