Windows 10: Anyone know how to get videoplayback in fullscreen running at the source framerate?

Any video player I've tried seems to cut the framerate in half when I try to view in fullscreen

Games running worse on new PC? (Max Payne 3 horrible framerate on Skylake 6700k)

but running heaven will be of NO use if You dont follow the steps listed above.(just making sure)
you need to rule out Drivers as a source, then move on from there. Also is the 970 in the top PCI lane?

 

Forced Fullscreen Vsync

Hi Samuraijin!

You're not the only one with this problem. I've been having it too. I have a Dell Inspiron 15r 5521 with AMD Radeon 8730m in Enduro configuration. Here's what I've observed when running games with the Radeon:

1- In fullscreen mode all directx 10 and 11 games get locked to your refresh rate. Doesn't happen with dx9 or older titles.

2- In Crysis, Crysis Warhead and Crysis 2, the refresh rate gets locked to 40 hz instead of 60. I believe it's down to wonky vsync implementation in those games, as setting in-game vsync on in those games on windows 8 brought about the same result.

3- To unlock your framerate, you can run the game in windowed mode, but the taskbar stays on top. You can try using the "borderless windowed gaming" app to create a profile for your game to run it in borderless windowed
mode at your desktop resolution.

4- In most games running in a window has no effect on framerate. However in my experience, using alt-enter to switch from fullscreen to windowed mode two times or more causes the framerate to drop drastically in windowed mode. Despite this, Windows 10 is
actually better for gaming in windowed mode than 8.1, as the framerate would tank in the latter as soon as I switched to windowed mode.

5- Additionally, in dx10 and 11 titles, fullscreen mode causes immense
screen tearing, most noticeable during cut scenes and the intro logos. It's less obvious during gaming, but still there. Doesn't happen in windowed mode.

6- I've maybe found a way to fix the tearing in fullscreen mode. I only tested this in Max Payne 3 in dx11 mode, but it seems that locking the framerate to
58 fps using 'rivatuner statistics server' fixes the tearing.

Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution for fixing the locked framerate in fullscreen mode, although it's not much of an issue for me in all game since except Crysis, since my refresh rate is 60hz. The tearing is what really bothered me. You didn't mention
anything about screen tearing in your post, so I wonder if it's only an amd issue.
