Full Version: Experiencing Slowdown When In Full Screen
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I am having major slowdown issues when I switch to full screen. In windowed mode I keep a constant 30fps when playing Gamecube games and 60fps when playing Wii games. But in full screen mode I drop down to about 15fps on gamecube games and about 30fps on Wii games. I am using the latest drivers for my video card, so I know that is not the issue. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Your images don't show up, but I'd guess this is because you have a weak/average GPU and the IR is set to "auto". So at fullscreen, it ends up being too much to handle for your GPU.
The images show up for me, and the IR is set to native. The only performance-affecting graphics settings I can see are vsync and real XFB.
