Someone told me that using Fullscreen Windowed in CS2 results in the same input lag as Fullscreen Is this true or has anyone confirmed this? I'm not talking about "Window" mode but "Fullscreen Windowed"
Did a very basic slow motion recording on my phone. There are much better ways of testing but just from this it seems rather insignificant. Tried it on W10. I'll play with Fullscreen Windowed for a bit, let you know if it feels less responsive or not.
Hey @caseyfosterTV have you tested this yet?
@MaximsTweets if you enable "optimizations for windowed games" itll be same yes
@xdDeLaCream What do you mean?
@MaximsTweets I would not assume so, in Windows 11 Microsoft removed the traditional Fullscreen mode and replaced it with Borderless windowed, as the later they claim is better optimized for performance, less hickups when you switch between apps, auto HDR etc... The option Fullscreen is still
@MaximsTweets nope this is not the case run fullscreen, fullscreen windowed is the same as fullscreen in DX12 titles only, cs2 is DX11 so u should use fullscreen
@MaximsTweets I’m not sure why but my mouse’s dpi feels 50% slower in fullscreen windowed
@MaximsTweets I would be paranoid about playing in fullscreen windowed lol I don't really have any tested info to provide why, but I've played CS in full screen for over 20 years. It's ingrained in me.
@MaximsTweets game was cooked made by incompetent company
@MaximsTweets Operating system? On Windows I find it hard to believe since Windows scheduler seem to prioritize Fullscreen. On Linux pretty samey I feel
@MaximsTweets jut anecdotal evidence but whenever I was in a skin server in full screen windows for faster alt tabs, it felt very smooth and not delayed at all compared to full screen
@MaximsTweets Feel like my mouse would yeet to screen 2 on a flick. I’ll wait it out.
@MaximsTweets I don’t know what I’m talking about but I read it was a difference between windows 10 and 11
@MaximsTweets iirc @ThourCS2 tested it and the results were pretty similar
@MaximsTweets last time I used it, it was caped at 60hz (I have 165hz monitor btw) I don't know if they fixed this Fullscreen windowed is useful when alt-tabbing
@MaximsTweets Idk but I'd love to know why my CS sometimes runs at half my usual fps and sometimes at it's full capability while other games are always fine
