No=know in previous post.

Yeah no about the DSR desktop work around. Pain in the bum.

On SLI that's good news, but am I missing something? Every recent Unity based game I have fails to work with SLI, and Unity's own dev docs say exclusive fullscreen is required *and* this is disabled by default - the Dev needs to set this mode. And since most devs just run with default configuration, all these games come out with 'windowed fullscreen' as the only fullscreen option.

SLI will work in windowed mode, with a million and one miles of red tape. It's always going to be an inferior experience and probably going to flicker like crazy.

DSR also works in windowed mode, but the catch is you have to set the desktop resolution to the virtual resolution. A handful of games do this and then switch your desktop back to its normal resolution when you alt+tab. I don't think any of them do that in order to support DSR, I think the developer didn't know that window dimensions and framebuffer resolution are independent in Direct3D.

Exclusive fullscreen is not required for SLI, hasn't been for a long time now. It's still required for DSR however.

Hate that so many games these days, especially Unity ones, implement 'Windows Fullscreen' for 'Fullscreen', when it should be 'Exclusive Fullscreen'. Exclusive Fullscreen is required for SLI and DSR :(

It's a feature to make you more closer to the story of the game. If you want fullscreen gaming, you can't multitask.

When it's a Japanese game evidently :P This game has three modes: Windowed, Borderless Window and Fullscreen. Fullscreen only works when the game starts, if you Alt+Tab out even once it goes to borderless window mode and no amount of changing this setting is going to put it back into fullscreen :-\

When it's Windowed Fullscreen.
