What does "match at %" mean?

Just like the title; what does "match at %" mean?

I still don't understand... If I want my windows sens (400dpi and windows sens 6) in Overwatch for example, how would I do that? Does it always have to be match at 25% to be accurate?

[DPI Wizard]

No, 25% is just an example. It's personal preference where it feel best to match it. 1% means small movements around the crosshair will be the same, while 100% means larger movements to the edge of the monitor will be the same. 75% is the standard in many games between hipfire and scopes.

 

If you're unsure, try with 75% first, and see how that feels.

So there isn't a setting that would make it 1:1?

That's the problem, it's impossible to make it 1:1 on the entire screen when converting from 2D to 3D, or even between different FOV's in the same game. So you have to choose where on the monitor you want it to be 1:1. This doesn't mean everything else except that point will be completely off, but it will drift slightly out of 1:1 at any other point of the monitor.

Dammit. Well if it was 3D to 3D then it still wouldn't be 1:1?

Dammit. Well if it was 3D to 3D then it still wouldn't be 1:1?

Only if the FOV is identical.

Only if the FOV is identical.

Okay, thank you for your time and help!

If I am using a 21:9 instead of a 16:9 Display should I still match it to 75% or another value? (You said 75% is standard in most games)

21:9 has 33% more vertical screen space, so 75x1.333 = 100%

So would 100% on 21:9 be better to achieve the same feeling as 75% on 16:9? Or just leave it?

To correct myself, a lot of games have 100% match in 4:3 resolution, which equals 75% in 16:9 and ~57% in 21:9.

So match at 55% to mimic this in 21:9

Thank you DPI Wizard!

Your fast answers are impressive!

 

 

EDIT: One more question

 

Should I set the coefficient in Bf1 to 1.7777 (or 0.5625^-1) when using 21:9 ?

so do bf1 and csgo bot use match at 75% screen distance for the scopes then? I'm just trying to get a sensitivity for the acog on rainbow six siege that would have the same ratio as those 2 games.
