Quick question.. which should I be using now? DXGI or WGC?

[bright hedge]

Just test them both and decide, you dont need to open a thread for this

[keen zealot]

this didn't answer my question though. So I guess a thread is necessary. I'm wondering from a technical perspective which is better for latency, fluidity etc. mostly latency though. which is best and which is more stable as well. I know since the latest windows 11 update they changed how things work but then I heard the dev did things to counter this. So which is technically better to use if you're trying to minimise latency

[bright hedge]

Why would we do your job for you

And when gaming or windows is concerned, there is no definitive answer. You should know that

Only thing to know, both work

which you can just test and see (same result)

This is just being lazy, nothing else if you ask me

And i see same type of posts many times

On 24h2 wgc is generally a bit faster then DXGI but before 24h2 dxgi is better

[bright hedge]

for me opposite in 24h2, dxgi works better

it all comes to testing in the end

[arctic summit]

Yeah it really depends

[keen zealot]

i would say thanks but the level of toxicity that came with answers doesn't warrant one.

[bright hedge]

Topic makes no sense so the answers

[arctic summit]

Eh no it kinda does

[bright hedge]

how exactly? Really need to ask this to find out?

[arctic summit]

I mean it isn’t really explained that well in app tbh

[bright hedge]

Is it possible to create a channel for detailed info on app? Or recreating the information one?

Information delivered there does not include much

[arctic summit]

Would be though ths hasn’t really provided any detailed documentation

[bright hedge]

I could just write there instead of explaining same thing over and over

[arctic summit]

Actually I got an idea will tell you in #🪑│alpha-off-topic

Hostility, dismissiveness, and rudeness abounds.

[solemn vortex]

True. I really don't get how this guy is still here after how he treated a user who only dared to ask a question.

DXGI works best with the KB5046617 update on Windows 11 24H2. WGC gives me some stutters after x4 LSFG as of today.

[regal oasis]

WGC is faster, lower latency, but should be used at fixed FPS! DXGI is slower and is mostly useful for variable FPS. Under x4 or higher FG, however, DXGI performs better because it is more accurate.

[fiery acorn]

On paper this is right, however due to the computational resources needed to do more than x4, it's easy to cause the base framerate latency and low% to vary a lot. For this reason, unless you have a really good gpu, going above x4 with WGC results in stutters. Also, the latency impact of DXGI is truly negligible. For these reasons, people that don't really know how to get stable fps should always use DXGI.

[maiden helm]

This is true. I switched back to DXGI and noticed the smoothness I had been missing, as I usually use WGC with double buffering

[mint viper]

On Windows 11 24H2, WGC is typically slightly better than DXGI in all regards. On anything before that, WGC doesn't sync to the game framerate, making it unusable unless used at a fixed base

[mint viper]

Man, why were you so rude about this

[tired barn]

idk what im doing wrong but for some reason wgc doesnt work on my pc at all dxgi works perfectly

[mint viper]

If you're not on Win11 24H2 don't expect WGC to work well

[tired barn]

im on win 10
