Transcripts
hey guys in today's video I'll be
talking to you about the different flip
modes window no SS which includes full
screen exclusive and full screen
optimizations FSC and fso I'll be
telling you guys what's the best one for
gaming because there's a lot of outdated
knowledge out there that misguides
people so I'll be telling you what you
should do and what like you should set
for your system if you enjoy this video
make sure to like And subscribe as I
will be posting more videos like this at
Saturday 1 p.m. e but
[Music]
yeah so the first we going to do is see1
flipping mode we have on currently to
get into a present mod just join the
Discord server which will be linked in
the description below then head over to
programs and then in here you'll see the
GitHub link that's the one without the
overlay and then the overlay version is
the Intel link if you're using the Intel
link and you want to use the
overlay you just make sure you have your
game open and it's set in the process
right here set your overlay hog key to
enable it and then you want to click
edit right here and just make sure
present mode is on one of these because
that's where you're going to be looking
that and then you want to open your game
and if you don't have the overlay just
press your overlay hot key and then it
should pop up for me my present mode is
on Hardware independent flip yours might
say Legacy Flip or Hardware composed
flip if you can't use this overlay for
some reason then you could just use the
non overlay version which is this you
just run it like normal and then if your
game doesn't show up you just want to
open your game and close it real quick
and then in here you should see your
flipping mode okay now that you know
what flipping mode you have you have to
understand what it is if you have Legacy
flip that is basically full screen
exclusive what happens is the GPU
renders the frame and then it sends it
to dwm to composite the frame and then
presents it on your screen whereas fso
just renders the frame and presents it
on your screen directly which bypasses
dwm thus like reducing latency another
thing too is fso is newer technology so
games and newer Hardware is more built
for FS whereas FSC is kind of outdated
and deprecated so we would like to have
fso instead which would be Hardware
independent Flip or Hardware composed
independent flip it's better if you
could use Hardware composed independent
flip which all you have to do is just
enable no to actually enable no and fso
by the way you just want to join the
Discord server which will be linked in
the description below then head over to
resources and then the enable M and fso
batch should be right here you want to
download it and then just run it as
administrator it's going to ask you if
you're on Windows 10 or 11 you're going
to select like one or two depending on
what you're on I'm on Windows 10 so I'm
just going to press one and then enter
it should do a couple things and and
then say press any key to continue just
press any key and then it's done restart
your PC and then it should be set now
another thing too you just want to make
sure and check is that you don't have
the simple full screen optimizations on
for whatever game you play what you want
to do is just find the wind shipping.exe
or the exe for the game and should
should be in like your regular drive and
it may be in like program files let me
try to find a one for fortnite it should
be in program files epic games fortnite
fortnite game binaries
164 then in here this is the main exe
that fortnite uses you want to right
click it click properties compatibility
and you just want to make sure that this
is not checked so you would go into
change High DPI settings and if it's
still grade out for you if it isn't
grade out then you can just uncheck and
click okay and then click apply on okay
and you'll be fine if it's gr out for
you like this you want to click change
settings for all
users uncheck disable full screen
optimizations this could stay checked it
doesn't really matter click apply okay
and then it should be unchecked and then
you just click okay right here and you
would do this for any game basically
just to make sure that you don't disable
full screen optimizations for it same
thing with like valerin
