why windowed borderless mode run way better than full screen?
hi to all, with my config

i5 4690k
amd r9 390
8gb of ram

if i play this game and some others in full screen mode i get around 40fps but with a lot of stuttering, if i play in borderless windowed mode is really smooth and 60fps. should not be the opposite? Thanks

Try this:

1. Right click in the bottom left hand corner of your desktop and select "System" from the menu
2. Click 'Advanced System settings' in the left hand panel of the 'System' window
3. Select the 'Advanced' tab in the System properties window
4. In the 'Performance' options, click 'Settings'
5. Select the 'Advanced' tab in the Performance Options
6. Under 'Virtual Memory' click 'Change
7. Uncheck 'Automatically manage paging file size for all drives' if it is selected.
8. Select 'Custom size' and type '4096' into Initial size (MB) and '6144' into Maximum size (MB)
9. Click 'Set', click 'OK' and restart computer.

Incognito: you should probably explain what those things do when giving such advice.

Oh,yes,sorry. Well,they fix memory problems...a lot of people are getting ram usage at 90 or even 80. Mostly happends with people,who have 8GB's of system memory (ram). This will solve issues like "memory leak or out of memory''. By doing this,you'll update your page file size.

I get extremely high RAM usage in the campaign and zombies (the game takes up to 5.5GB of my 8GB) which makes it unplayable after 20 minutes or so. If this can fix it then I will definitely try that out later. Thanks for your explanation.

Alright,another solution here..

Steam/steamapps/common/Call of Duty Black Ops III/players/config Open 'config' file,navigate to "Setup" and find a ''WorkerThreads''

Make sure WorkerThreads are set to:

2 to 4

Looks like this:

//Thread count for handling the job queue
WorkerThreads = "4" // 2 to 4

This should eliminate any fps problem for i5 CPU's.

Let me know,how it works.
Cheers.
