Exclusive Fullscreen

[ZappPSR]

As far as I researched::

Exclusive fullscreen = normal fullscreen
Fullscreen = borderless window

I always heard that real fullscreen was the way to go in terms of performance.

Now, not only DX12 exclusive or normal fullscreen is broken but also DX11 exclusive fullscreen.

By broken I mean dark gama, tearing up and laggish.

The only way I can play hitman is DX11 fulscreen (borderless windw), and with V-Sync off by the way.

Anyone else experience the same problem? They seem to be ignoring it...

I don't know if you have already but for bad performance always start at real zero in your settings. Don't try to fix the ones you already have.

Get latest drivers (I got a decent bump from Nvidia this morning)

Reset your video card's driver control panel to default.

Re-run the performance test and accept

Tearing means you need to limit your framerate. Do use vsync. Hitman has two vsync settings - 30 and 60.

If you have 'smoothing' settings on your monitor/tv turn them off.

Correct about exclusive being true fullscreen. I typically get better performance in BW. BW is great if you use a TV for a monitor because TVs often want to switch to 30fps in FS.

Same deal w/ me on dx12, and it's been like that since the live beta.

I actually have overly bright gamma on mine, for whatever reason. And just like you, both Fullscren and E.F. have the same exact effect. The only way to get normal brightness levels is to put it in windowed.

No clue what the deal is with that. At least it doesn't do it in DX11.

archcycle, thanks for your advice. I have other demanding games and they run fine. My drivers are up to date and my PC has minimally installed what is necessary to play games. No Office, or other applications. I can say my PC is game optimized.

About the tearing, it only happens in Exclusive Fullscreen, even with V-Sync. On the other hand, on Fullscreen (BW) I don't even need V-Sync and the game runs sharp.

I think moleface is here to corroborate the facts. The game is broken on DX12 and exclusive fullscreen.

It has been worse... Now I can play the game with no disconnects and with a good quality and above 70 FPS in most areas, but in fulscreen, DX11.

But I hope they implement DX and exclusive fullscreen properly because it sounds more like a polished and finished game...
