    I thought playing any game in full screen mode results in the best performance. But for me it's the total opposite. In R3E settings I have Full Screen Mode set to OFF for Windowed Mode 2560x1080p @75fps(via rivatuner) Vsync off (both in game and AMD) & freesync on in AMD settings; I get smooth gameplay, no screen tearing at all, no studders, and my controller inputs (wheel, pedals etc) feels very responsive.

    Anyone else experiencing screen tearing and even some micro studders in Full Screen mode? I'm using Trackir 5 and I'm getting mad screen tearing.

    In AMS forum, there was accordance, that setting fps to a prime number, chases tearing.
    Give it a try.;)

    Ok.... Will try that out. But there isn't a fps limiter built into r3e in game settings like AMS has. I'll try lowering the frame limiter on rivatuner to 73. Or I'll try creating a new refresh rate of a prime number instead. I will have to do 73 from 75fps/refresh rate. Or I might overclock my monitor to 79hz so I don't feel like I'm sacraficing any performance (even though it is only 2 fps I'll be losing).
