Question to GURULimes or Any other PC Wizards

** THIS IS CF RELATED, DONT MOVE IT (:, please.**

Hey, question to GuruLimes. Or anyone else if they can answer this.

I have teh Steelseries Xai mouseee.

I'm unsure about the Hertz feature, so I've left it at 125.

Can you explain what it is, what I should put it at and what is it actually?

I ALWAYS get over 200fps in anygame, and play on 1024x768 res. (If thats of any importance).

Question2:

My dad was recently watching some family photos, and thought the family looked fat -.-, so he went on to mess up my screen resolution SOMEHOW. I had to change the res in ALL my games, COD and CS which worked fine and acheived fullscreen.

Only CF gives me black borders at the side. My GFX card

Nvidia GTX 480 x2 (dual).

I used to play with fullscreen CF until my dad messed it up, so I know its possible.

Any help to either questions would be greatly appreciated.

    I answered this in another thread,

    But Crossfire was designed (for some really weird reason) with the default USB polling rate in mind (125hz), and despite it being built on a gutted Monolith source engine (used in FEAR, the engine was created as Jupiter EX+, and it used their own input routines which simply perform erratically if the polling rate is over 125hz. And developers are often so bad at games, they don't even know a problem exists...

    Anyway, using more than 125hz will cause the mouse input coordinates to get skewed, causing it to be almost impossible to move the mouse in a straight line, unless you're using a mouse with a lot of angle snapping/prediction correction enabled. Most noticable when panning directly up and down. This is also related, or even caused by, the massive amount of positive/negative acceleration encountered when above 125hz. Even if you're using a mouse with prediction enabled, you'll still have massive acceleration problems that will murder your flick shooting.

    It basically makes the game unplayable.
    It's a lot worse if you're using a mouse that has what is known as "prediction/drift control/angle snapping correction" disabled, as many recent mice do, or have a firmware option for disabling prediction.

    You mentioned the Steelseries Xai...I don't know if that mouse has prediction, but I know that the Kinzu, or at least old firmwares of the Kinzu, had excessive straight line prediction...

    K, tl;dr version:
    Keep it at 125hz for Crossfire.
    500hz for all other games.
    1000hz for all other games if using Windows 7 (XP doesn't handle 1000hz that gracefully).
