I have a laptop with a GTX 980M nvidia graphics card. Windows 8.

When trying out Witcher 3 and Titanfall, I noticed that there was a shadow particle effect following movement on screen.

My question is, when playing fullscreen, I get that particle effect. When I play the games in window mode, the effect is gone, no problems at all. What is causing this issue? Does it have anything to do with Intel HD Graphics in any way? I am sort of waiting for an nvidia driver update that may fix this before sending it out.

I did a recent update for the newest batman game. Still getting artifacting in fullscreen but not in windowed mode.

Tried that also, same result. Artifacting in full screen but none in windowed. Im hoping its a driver issue and am waiting for an update from nvidia. I want to use the warranty as a last resort.
