Topic: Dropped Frames in Fullscreen MadVR/SVP
I get stable 59.94~fps with pretty much 0 dropped frames on playback windowed mode. However, when I switch to either fullscreen or Fullscreen Exclusive mode, I start getting 10-20 dropped frames a second. I don't enable smooth motion in madvr and I have tried using "Blend frames to screen refresh rate" but I still get massive dropped frames in any form of fullscreen.
Here is my mediainfo for the episode

Do I need to add more information regarding this matter? I really want this to work; don't understand why in windowed mode, I get 0 dropped frames but then suddenly, I get 20 dropped frames a second when I fullscreen. I've been having this problem since SVP 3.1 I think.
Edit: I have also noticed 10bit videos downgrade to 8bit if I have ffdshow raw video encoder enabled in my external filters, which is needed for SVP to function. While it is not a problem, it's just something I noticed and I'm not sure if that's supposed to happen.
