It generally called negative acceleration (even if it's actually a maximum speed threshold, it's not an acceleration) and it's not mouse dependent. You have it with all mice (unless you use Linux + in_dgamouse 2 or directinput/rawinput on Windows, in that case you will never have any negative accel, with any dpi)

The fact that you can't see it with 5700 dpi can ony mean one thing, that is you weren't using 5700 dpi at all

Let me explain: what does 5700dpi mean? It means that if you move 1 inch on your mousepad you will move 5700 pixel on your desktop (which is a lot!). Only in that case you can really say you are using 5700 dpi. If you lower your windows (desktop) mouse sens, you are actually reducing your mouse dpi to a lower value. To have 5700 dpi, all setings should be in the middle notch (windows sens, setpoint, whatever). Then, and only then, you have 5700 dpi.

For example if your desktop resolution is 1920x1080, having 5700 dpi means 5700 pixels in 1 inch, that is 1920 in 0.33 inches, roughly equal to 0.85 cm (if I didn't make mistakes).
So, you can make your whole desktop with only 0.85 cm on your desk? If yes you have 5700 dpi, if not, then you don't (or maybe you mouse has 5700 'hardware' dpi, but you reduce them by reducing your windows sens)

That's why you hear every time bs about people saying 'I have 1 trillion dpi and my ingame sensi is 5' (which would be unplayable with such high dpi setting)
It's because they don't understand that, now I hope I explained it correctly :p
