This is why I ' m a fan of Fullscreen Exclusive Display Mode 3 The DWM includes an abysmal vsync implementation , Fullscreen Exclusive Display Mode lets you turn off vsync if you wanted to which means Fullscreen Exclusive Display Mode is more ideal for GSyncFreesync . If Microsoft switched their Vsync implementation to the same one every vsync capable program has used for the last 30 ~ years than I ' d have no issues with the DWM .
