How do I benchmark Destiny 2?

[COWZYOV]

Destiny 2 blocks overlays and recording programs when in Fullscreen, and when not in Fullscreen, I have much lower framerate; how do I benchmark Destiny 2 while in Fullscreen? Anyone know?

you can't 'benchmark' games in fullscreen, you need to play in borderless windowed. fullscreen means that's the only graphical software that can take focus.

Nonsense, that's how we always benchmark. Full screen does not mean overlays can't work.

What overlay software are you using OP?

[COWZYOV]

Msi afterburner

Ok play around with the detection modes and display modes in RTSS. The defaults don't work for all games.

Stealth mode might bypass it?

I don’t need the overlay by the way; as long as it gives me a benchmark, I’m happy

What do you mean?
Msi Afterburner + RTSS is for monitoring. It doesn't benchmark anything your game must have a built in benchmark option. Otherwise who cares, just play the game, if not smooth adjust the visual settings

I’m trying to record my framerate over a specific span of time during gameplay (so I’m not staring at my fps counter).

That’s what I mean by benchmark. Sorry if I was unclear

Ok so use recording software, like OBS Studio and record to disk. Or nvidia shadowplay

lol oh my God even I can understand what this guy saying you still don't know what he was saying keep trying to do a benchmark videyou can record a video but he's trying to have the temperature of the CPU GPU RAM and FPS

All he has to do is open whatever hardware monitoring software he is using, launch the game, play for a bit, close the game and check the logs.

I don't see what the issue is.

That's called Exclusive Fullscreen, which up until Windows 10 build 1709 was it. On 1709, they added the "Full Screen Optimizations" feature in the .exe's properties, which doesn't always do what it says. I may have been mistaken though, I thought Exclusive Fullscreen was removed entirely, but it still could be what the game runs in once you check that Disable Full Screen Optimizations box..hard to say really. Anyways, by default, the computer is supposed to think it's in Fullscreen mode, when it's really in a "highly optimized borderless window",and the pc is supposed to give the cpu/gpu most or all resoruces...the link for all this info is:

In Afterburner's settings there is a Benchmark tab that is supposed to benchmark 3d applications, and you dont need the Overlay enabled either. Unfortuantely I still haven't found a way to really benchmark destiny 2 because the game won't allow it. Funny tho how the game gives the OK for nvidia and steam's overlays to work

If anyone finds out the How-Tos for getting this stuff to work, let us knowwhat udid!
