Ultimate spread journal

by loctarar • 27 Mar 2008, 11:12 • Journals
Okay... I've read an article long time ago about ET spread and I got the conclusion that 125FPS/250Hz polling rate is the key for a small spread when moving the mouse. I didn't have the chance to test it because I got a shit mouse locked to 125Hz. Now I want to buy a MX518 (can it be overclocked to more than 125HZ?) and I want to know if that rule is true.
Thanks in advance.

Okay... then why do people overclock the usb port to 250 Hz? Whats the advantage in et?
Yes... If i think of it I guess you are roght. One fps spread + next fps spread -.

the smoother mouse movement, the more Hz

poor dog :(

My family had a dog of the same breed (labrador retriever) a few years ago, he almost jumped off the balcony once.

it is... com_maxfps 250 and mousehz to 125 and go wiggle your mouse around (remember to put crosshairpulse to 1 to notice it)

One more thing and I'll go for college. MX518 supports polling rates > 125Hz?

just googled it, but 60 is default in XP but can be changed in anything between 1 and 200.
