To those running a dual GPU set up, how much performance difference are you seeing between windowed and full screen modes? I don't recall seeing any benches for it recently, just curious.
On my setup (Dual ATI 5750's) its very noticeable, I can play full screen at 1920x1080 just fine with details cranked up pretty high with multiple anti-aliasing. Windowed mode I have to drop down to 1680x1050 and further reduce detail and aliasing settings, and I still chug quite a bit. In tandem these cards were good performance per dollar when I bought them but individually they are not great.

Thats good to hear, I wish they would implement this ASAP, its really a MAJOR inconvenience for us with dual graphics cards, especially considering the amount of information that you have to pull from outside the game to effectively play it. At least it sounds like they are not going to continually ignore the issue.


For more technical details this is essentially what is happening

Interestingly, direct x 10 and beyond don't suffer from this problem.
