Full-screen option needed
So I have a 4k Display with a resolution of 3840x2160.
When i'm in this native resolution, everything looks great, but my GTX 1060 6G maxes outat 100% work load.
If I lower the resolution, the hole screen shrinks, so I see my desktop.
I want to run in lower rez, but full-screen.
Anyone else got this issue?

Had not realized game runs in borderless fullscreen window by default and, as you found out, changing resolution in that mode just shrinks the window. Never had reason to adjust resolution before now so I did not know that.

Edit: did some more experimenting:

You can hit alt+enter to switch between full screen and window modes.
Interestingly if you do it in exclusive fullscreen, it results in bordered window you can move around. Handy to know in future.

Odd that borderless window is the default option. While there may be stability benefits, running game in window should usually result in worse performance than running in exclusive fullscreen.

Dude! perfect! Thank you so much. I had been booting from G-Force Exp. and that wasn't an option. You don't see that if you boot from the desktop icon either.
Thanks for the help!
