Good morning,
I currently have a setup that runs a 2560 x 1080 (29inch) ultrawide monitor as the main screen and then a 1920x1080p(23 inch). It looks awesome although granted it's alot of screen estate. So I game with the main 21:9 monitor( mainly league of legends) and have the side monitor with youtube or build guides etc.
First question:
Appart from using full screen windowed mode, is there a way to alt-tab so I can use my second monitor but still have the game show on the main. Currently when I alt-tab it minimises the game which makes sense, but I didn't know of there was another combination or configuration that would allow me to use the other screen fine. Why not full screen windowed mode. Because when playing league you have an unlocked screen, so you move the cursor to the sides to move the screen etc, bit you have to be at the end of the game window to move it. So it works going up, right and left, but due to the way the full screen windows works, I cannot move down.
Second question:
I am running a 7970 dual-x and a fx8350 that's water-cooled (aka overkill for league). I am wanting to setup vsr on my game to take advantage of my card and the best I can get out of the game as currently average 156 frames when using to 21:9. Reading about vsr sounds good but it mentions nothing about ultrawide resolutions.
Kind regards
Gotta step you up to dota man
Otherwise it may just be a 21:9 issue within the game, you could try running it windowed at 16:9 1080p or something
but ya not much you could do if it's full screen, maybe run it in a virtual machine with a hardware GPU passthrough, but you'd need a second GPU to get video output if your motherboard doesn't have any.
With Season 6 atm I may be Dota ;) not liking season 6 but never mind. The only problem with the windowed 21:9 is I am unable to move down, maybe I can create a key to switch between fullscreen window and fullscreen. Ill have a google of that one.
I don't think you could do that mid game, try other resolutions at windowed full screen, it works fine for me last time I booted up LoL.
Main thing to remember when switching from LoL to dota is that team fights last longer than 3 seconds late game, the damage to HP ratio isn't so high most of the time
alt+enter then alt tab? alt+enter will put the game into a small window on screen then alt+enter again to make it maximize again.
Gonna go into a custom and try this, ill see in 2 minutes
Yea but I know the champs off by heart, it would hurt that I wouldnt know the same with Dota
Ya dota is a high initial learning curve learning what each hero can do and their limits, also what items do. and then you can just throw all tha tshit you learned out the got damn window and play ability draft
Any help with the second issue though? VSR anyone xD
What is VSR
VSR/DSR really don't do much of anything, it's best just to keep your frame rates high
As i said, i get 150 average with a 7970 so its gonna be like 90 average with VSR and i've heard its good
Did you already crank your in game settings to max?
Otherwise just cap your frame rate, that way your GPU uses less power and runs cooler
I would like it to look nicer xD everythings max
Well it's not going to look much nicer even if you render it at a higher resolution and downsample, still just ends up being LoL, all it's really going to do is help the AA out
Which makes it look nicer for no loss on my side
Aside from working your GPU harder...Either way VSR only works on 16:9 resolutions it seems, and you need a 300 series card I think, or maybe just the drivers for it launched with the 300 series
The website on AMD says the 7970 can run it, just wondering if anyone had knowledge of it working with 21:9
The install base for 21:9 is small enough that they don't probably care much about adding support
