You basically just need enough DPI to reach 1:1 scaling which means that there is no interpolation of positions. Basically set your windows pointer speed to 5/11 and your mouse to max DPI and see how fast it is a 1:1 (all other driver induced oddities need to be disabled for this of course). My guess is that most of the people with 8200 DPI will have a seriously hard time using the mouse at the max sensitivity.

I think for high sensitivity on a high resolution setup 3000 DPI is more than enough even for people using a high sensitivity.
