As the title says ^

Games feel sluggish in fullscreen compared to fullscreen borderless/windowed.

Even apex legends feels way smoother in windowed :o

I would suggest trying disabling full-screen optimizations in these games by right click properties compatibility tab then ticking the disable fullscreen check box if still feels the same then I suggest trying to disable MPO check the link for how

Tried them both already.

But i could try it again. Didn’t really focused on the mpo disabled regedit “tweak” if it makes any difference in smoothness. I’ll keep u updated

But isn’t fso good to leave it at default?

Hey there man, regarding this I actually experience this in Valorant when running it in fullscreen mode I notice some line tears and when I change it to windowed fullscreen mode it feels better, smoother and no more linear tears. I dont know also the reason why it happens.

I'm using a 144hz TN Panel monitor and am hitting 250+ fps in normal matches so fps is not a reason I think. Also disabled freesync or any vsync options. Already tried disabling and enabling fullscreen optimizations but the issue still persists.

Try change scaling options in nvidia cp with force override tick

Hi there sir! Actually Mr. ReaINC answered this on a similar post I made. Btw I'm using an AMD GPU, RX 5700. So as explained by Mr. ReaINC, when using windowed mode it will automatically force the program to have vsync on. As advised he made me enable AMD's own version of vsync, "enhanced sync" and true enough all my queries were answered. The tearing I noticed and motion blur I noticed was gone and it was relatively smoother now.

The only thing why I didn't turn on vsync and freesync because I was playing competitively and vsync and freesync as explained by others, introduces input lag. Please correct if I still have misconceptions. Thank you!
