Re: NVidia Optimus (GTX00M) Cannot Run in Fullscreen Mode

I just purchased Wolfenstein The New Order and it is behaving exactly the same way on my Lenovo Y50, it only runs full screen when Full Screen Windowed mode is selected, which results in decreased performance.

Do these games share the same engine?

     I have the same problem. Nvidia 880m.

    And this is one of the problems of PC gaming. People dont understand that Nvidia/AMD optimize drivers for each game released. Everything is more or less a hack on PC. This is why gaming on PC is "better" than Mac, since there are not optimized "hacked" drivers for each single game. 

    This is why Console gaming is over achiving. XboxOne/PS4 are extremly low end PCs. Still they perform like a 700-1000 dollar PC. Why? Because the hardware is constant = developers can optimize for that hardware. On PC its always have been brute force. On Console/Mac it have been about elegance. 

    This is a Nvidia problem, not EA. But its EA job to scream at Nvidia to have working drivers on new hardware, or EA should offer refunds since the game dont work on Nvidia 8XX cards.
