In standard windowed modes, frames often pass through a "compositor" (like Windows Desktop Window Manager). This adds a few milliseconds of delay. Exclusive mode creates a direct path to the GPU, which is vital for gaming or precision design work. 3. Fixing "Micro-Stutter"
Screen tearing occurs when the video feed sends frames faster or slower than the monitor can display them. Exclusive mode forces a 1:1 match between the viewerframe's output and the monitor’s physical refresh rate. 2. Reducing Input Latency viewerframe mode refresh exclusive
Configuring this mode typically involves three distinct layers of your setup: Hardware Level In standard windowed modes, frames often pass through
If the viewerframe tries to force a refresh rate your monitor doesn't support at its current resolution, the screen may go blank. Why Use Exclusive Refresh Modes?
The application "locks" the display's refresh cycle to its own output, bypassing the standard desktop composition layers. Why Use Exclusive Refresh Modes?
