Metal Hawk Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Also in the Graphics Options you can uncheck the FULL SCREEN option and DCS will run in windowed mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlidfan Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 AFAIK, you get better frame rates in full screen (by a small margin), but it has been a long time since I tested it (I have to run windowed for some Helios profiles).

SkateZilla Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Windowed: +Allows use of Helios and other applications. +Allows Alt-Tabing with minimal Impact/Crashes. -Small, barely measureable impact on FPS due to rendering the desktop -Windows mode does not support multiple GPUs (technically niether does DCS at the moment) Fullscreen: +Gives exclusive access to the gpu pipeline. +Allows Multiple GPUs -Removes ability to use external applications (ie Helios). -Alt Tabbing frequently crashes. 1 Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieJames Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thanks for the help. I can't use full screen with DK2 because the mouse won't show.

SkateZilla Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I didn't aware of that. Thanks a lot guys! :thumbup: Seeing how the Aero UI Only uses a small amount of GPU Acceleration and DCS Never really Taps a full 100% of the GPU, it's not a big deal. like maybe 1-3% which is 1-3 FPS at 100 FPS, Like I said, Depending on Driver settings, You wont notice a difference between Windowed and Full Screen until DX11/Multi-GPUs.
