Window Mode in Graphic setting automatically reduces my rendering res

[UndyingHen25539]

Hi Folks;

With Window mode enable in the Graphic setting in general options, the setting automatically reduces my Rendering Resolution from 2560x1440 to 2560x1377. If I switch to Full Screen it retains the native res of 1440. I really don’t see a performance difference (FPS or smoothness) between the two on my reg and setting. It has always been that way but recently been paying more attention to it and making changes to see if I can fix it or figure out what’s going on. I tried lowering and raising setting all type of settings but no change.

I have an ASUS 2560x1440 @60Hz monitor with a Nvidia RTX 3060 Graphic Card. I do have V-SYNC enabled with a 50% Monitor Refresh Rate which works great for me, 30 FPS and smooth at heavy airports, PMDG 737 and FSLTL live traffic. Just can’t figure out why I can’t get 1440 in window mode and interesting enough the percentage shows 100.

I have attached screen shots of the setting.

Thanks very much.

Kindest Regards.

This accounts for the title bar and possibly also for the task bar - so I would assume to have a reduced vertical resolution. So this should be ok for windowed mode …

Yep, it’s what’s known as the “window decorations” - the title bar, icons for shrinking and closing the window, the window frames (so you can grab and resize them). The taskbar, though, doesn’t enter into it, since it’s not part of the window. You can either have it set to auto-hide, or just have the window overlap it.

Just take a screenshot of the full screen (and not just the current window) and it’s still at whatever resolution you have the screen set at.

You can also over-size the window: move it so part is off-screen, drag the opposite side over a bit more (up, down, left, right) then drag it so it’s almost all on-screen. If you accidentally resize it so big that the title bar no longer shows on-screen, just ALT+ENTER to go back to full-screen mode.

Thanks WildTapestry269;

Makes total sense. Got it.

Cheers.

Thanks for the explanation. Yeah I used to switch between Full Screen and Window mode and resizing in the days of FSX but I never took note of any resolution change due to the resize.

Got it all. thanks again for your help I really appreciate it. I am good now.

Kindest Regards.
