Does screen resolution affect mouse DPI?

Higher resolution displays may require higher sensitivity or higher mouse DPI to attain the same amount of on-screen movement, or one would need a ridiculously large mouse-pad. If you think about 1080p, to move 600dpi takes about 2 inches. 1200dpi will mean you’d only have to move the mouse @ 1 inch.

Does DPI depend on resolution?

A higher DPI mouse means that you can move more precisely. This means that a cursor on a higher-DPI mouse won’t “fly” as much as a lower-DPI one, allowing you to have better control. So yes, they’re good for gaming, but only up to a certain point. The actual performance gains will vary from person to person.
