With a resolution of 1024x768 (or 1366x768 @ windows), is 450 dpi enough ?
Is it woth playing with 3500dpi ? Is it all marketing shit ?
If you guys tell me that 450dpi is enough for basically everything, then i go for it and FU 1800/3500dpi.

Generally, I like to think higher hardware sensitivity (even if you scale it back in software) gets you more precise results, and this is true 90% of the time with optical sensors. The Abyssus is optical.
You may, however, experience increased acceleration and may have to reduce cl_mouseaccel to scale with increasing DPI. I had to do this when increasing the DPI on my MX 518, so just saying.
400/450 is the uniform safe point, and this is in large part due to laser sensors. If the sensor has trouble with lift-off, a high DPI setting can magnify the lift-off glitch and completely throw off your aim when you lift the mouse during a chase or a respawn. This "throw-off" results in the camera locking 90 degrees up or down, and requires you to lift the mouse again to correct the position. With a low DPI, lift-off anomalies are small(er) on laser mice, so it's safer and far more consistent. (High DPI may also magnify jitter, again a problem with many laser mice and cloth pads.)
