Still just spouting w/e I have read.

I still just tried 450DPI + 125Hz and none of the OP's symptoms showed up. I guess there's more screen tearing/visual blur but I haven't had any actual trouble with tracking.

SpaceCadetDrakeMegrimDo you have an AMD video card? If you have a NVidia then you should be using Lightboost and drop the refresh rate down to 120.

If you aren't using a frame rate cap then do so. I had the same issue with my monitor because my fps would jump from 1200 to 200 during intense fights and stutter. Try something like 300.

I have an nvidia card but I have not really thought about switching over to lightboost. I may go that route as a last resort.

There is literally no reason not to use Lightboost at 10%. It has the lowest amount of lag (helps with stutters) and if you use the color pack to help with the colors on the monitor. Defaults aren't the greatest. You're kind of driving a race car in third gear right now. Take advantage of the hardware edge you have.

I've had no success with color profiles outside of my desktop so lightboost is just an annoyance while there's a stark purple hue everywhere.
