Variable refresh rate displays
Refer to Variable refresh rate displays.
Duplicating output
A single interface, IDXGIOutput5, with a single method, DuplicateOutput1, has been added to DXGI 1.5 to provide a more flexible and higher performance version of the original DuplicateOutput method. DuplicateOutput1 allows specifying a list of supported formats for fullscreen surfaces that can be returned by the IDXGIOutputDuplication object.
Offering and Reclaiming Resources
Updated methods, OfferResources1 and ReclaimResources1, have been added to a new interface, IDXGIDevice4, to allow de-committing of memory in addition to discarding resources. Opting in to the new DXGI_OFFER_RESOURCE_FLAG_ALLOW_DECOMMIT flag means the new reclaim results must be properly handled.
