Windowed DX11 vs Fullscreen DX11 FPS
Hi guys. Ive been using PT for over 10 years and its my go to benchmarking software. Im using the 10.2 version but this issue was even there with 9.0, 10.0 and 10.1.
My DX 11 results are so much lower than before. I think it was after i upgraded to windows 11.
The thing is when i run DX11 (advanced mode) in Fullscreen (1920x1080) 50 Jellyfish - No AA my average FPS is 260, this configuration is the same as the default dx11 test. Nvidia control panel is unmodified. All settings are stock (restored to default)
DX11 with the same settings but in windowed mode gets an average of 318.
My 1070ti has a custom voltage curve set at a maximum of 0.850Mv 1898Mhz. When i run the default test DX11 test in Fullscreen the wattage does not exceed 82 watts and about 70-80% gpu utilization. In windowed mode its utilization is between 95-99% and around 105 watts. I'll add some screen shots down below.
What is causing the Fullscreen mode to not push the GPU to max like windowed?
No other issues with any other DX9 10 11 or 12 games or benchmarks. Specs aren't really important as the issue is down to windowed and Fullscreen but ill list them below.
