🖱️ eDPI and sensitivity conversion calculator

eDPI (effective DPI) = mouse DPI × in-game sensitivity: an objective measure of sensitivity that does not depend on the game. With it you can carry your usual aim between CS2, Valorant and other shooters so your muscle memory is not thrown off.

The conversion uses the 360° turn: coefficients CS2/Apex/OW ≈ 3.18, Valorant ≈ 1.0 (relative to degrees per mouse count). eDPI = DPI × sensitivity.

BasisDPI × sens formula and game coefficients
formulaopen — eDPI = DPI × sensitivity. Conversion: sens₂ = sens₁ × k₁ ÷ k₂, where k is the game’s scale (CS2, Apex, Overwatch 2 ≈ 3.18; Valorant = 1.0), so the turn angle per mouse count stays the same.

Frequently asked questions

What is eDPI and why do you need it?
eDPI is mouse DPI multiplied by in-game sensitivity. It lets you compare players’ sensitivity across different mice and transfer settings between games with different sensitivity scales.
What eDPI counts as low or high?
In tactical shooters low values of 600–1200 eDPI are common (big arm movements, higher precision). Values above 1600 are considered high: faster turns but harder micro-aiming.
How accurate are the FPSHQ calculators?
The calculators use open formulas with coefficients from the FPSHQ database (1,927 GPUs with measurements). The result is an estimate: real FPS depends on the CPU, settings and driver version. For an exact measurement use the FPSHQ app.
Do I need to sign up?
No. All calculations run in the browser. An account is only needed to save "My PC" and get personalised results across the site.
Which calculator should I use if a game stutters?
Start with "Target FPS" — it shows how far the GPU falls short; then "DLSS/FSR" — how much upscaling will give; if VRAM is short — "VRAM". For an upgrade — "Cost per frame".

Methodology and sources

This page uses the FPSHQ database: the GPU and CPU catalogue with synthetic benchmark scores, official game system requirements, FPS measurements from users of the FPSHQ app and the FPSHQ performance model. Calculated values are estimates, not a measurement of your exact configuration: the real result depends on drivers, settings and the rest of the hardware. More about the methodology →
