WOW 8.0 now only supports WINDOS mode and BORDLESS WINDOWS mode. Does this mean we are forced to use non-blocking triple buffering?
How would you config your game if you do not have a GSYNC monitor?
Assuming you can run the game at ~80FPS.
This is my personal choice:
- Use VSYNC OFF
- For a 60HZ monitor, use RTSS to cap the frame rate to ~60.
- For a 144HZ monitor, use RTSS to cap the frame rate to ~72.

Not necessarily, if VSYNC OFF tearing is available in borderless windows mode.KKNDT wrote:WOW 8.0 now only supports WINDOS mode and BORDLESS WINDOWS mode. Does this mean we are forced to use non-blocking triple buffering?

As long as the lag is the same as exclusive full screen mode, then windowed fullscreen might as well be exclusive fullscreen simply by virtue of not allowing other apps/windows to show up.
Newer graphics cards are capable of eliminating the difference between exclusive fullscreen and windowed fullscreen. It's all in proper driver programming & OS programming. (The issue: Can we trust this to keep the lag identical?)
We have to pay attention to benchmarks and bugs.

Re: WOW 8.0 abandons FULL SCREEN mode
Not much you can do here. I'd just use vsync here and cap to -0.01Hz as usual. Or play something else that's made by people who aren't morons

Re: WOW 8.0 abandons FULL SCREEN mode
Enabling tearlines in borderless windowed mode is possible. It's just hard and requires the right version of Windows, mode (Game Mode), right drivers, right game settings, etc. Even Jorim wasn't able to enable this.
This stuff has got to be made easier -- and equallized in lag & supression of popups -- before we can live with the elimination of exclusive fullscreen mode.
Basically, universal & easy & equal in lag.
