Now I know this problem hasn't been resolved but I just have an enquiry.

Do you think microsoft will resolve this problem soon? I move my poll rate upto 1000 in my mouse driver settings and it feels like my dpi is reduced. I use the program mouserate to see my true pollrate and it's stuck at 200.

I have to bring my dpi upto something like 1700 to make it feel like 1080 when I move my poll rate up but when I move my poll rate upto the limit of the true pollrate displayed my dpi feels like it's back to normal.

Do you think Microsoft will fix this soon or will I have to do a fresh install of windows 8?

No, you see there is a big post on reddit about it.

I mean I did have Windows 7 and my pollrate was perfect.
