Hello!
The problem:
I am playing a lot of different games. They all run smoothly in FullScreen mode. But since I am also streaming, it would be very convenient to run these games in Borderless mode, so I could interact with the streaming software without the game freezing on the canvas.
However if I switch to Borderless mode in almost any game, one of the following two happens:
- The fps (shown by Afterburner) stays the same, around 165-200, but the refresh rate of the monitor goes down to ~60hz, noticeable just by looking at it (ex: Pubg)
- The fps is just cut to 60 strait up. (ex: rainbow 6)
Config:
9900k
2080Ti Gigabyte Gaming OC
ViewSonic XG2703 (165hz, 1440p)
Another token 60hz monitor 1080p
Settings & Programs:
Windows 10 64bit
StreamlabsOBS (NVENC [new] / Hardware acceleration off)
GSync ON
Did you guys met with this problem before?
I've red that Gsync has a similar problem with some windows 10 patches, but nVidia also claims to have fixed it.
Any help, article, forum thread associated with this particular problem is welcomed
Have a nice day!
