Fullscreen vs Borderless Windowed.

[Hex: Self Care]

Fullscreen 1920 x 1080 vs Borderless Windowed 1920 x 1080
Whats the difference?
Does it affect quality?
Does it affect FPS?
I recently found out that my MGSV: TPP was running on bordless window all time lmao.

From the program I used to fake borderless mode didnt affect my frames and quality was fine... but the best part of Borderless mode would be being able to tab out without that stupid transition to and from full screen.

imo... no reason to not have it

So borderless window is full screen except with out having to see that effect? And will it increase frames?

not sure about increasing frames but when I played I didn't see any change.

if going by logic, windowed modes should have slight decrease in performance. at least its the case with other games. i did not noticed it personally, specially in payday. i used windowed borderless mode to try stop tearing, but didnt work for me well, looks like im forced to play with vsync to have smooth gameplay without tearing :(

a quote from WindowedBorderlessGaming (the one I used)

Allot of modern games run smoother when running in a window. No more need for V-sync.

But depends on the game its played with... and knowing Payday2 there could be some issues

Wouldn't FOV be smaller though?

I don't see a reason to not play on fullscreen. Window mode would make me crazy.

Windowed Bordless is practically full screen but just removes the effect of the screen tearing and stuff like showing a black screen when alt tabbing. So I'm wondering if it affects fps and graphics.

Windowed borderless gaming has two advantages with only one disadvantage.
Pros: No more screen tearing (which fullscreen have a lot)
Can alt tab without having to wait 5 seconds/have a bug.

Con: It's slightly heavier on your computer, as fullscreen mode makes your computer focus on the program in fullscreen.

But hey. No screen tearing, almost same fps, alt tab easily. Windowed borderless masterace.

Well, that's hardly of a problem. At least to me.

So for games like CSGO where you always have above 60 fps is good to leave at Bordless Windowed?

Try it, and use steams fps counter overlay and count the frames

Windowed borderless should always be used. It fixes the screen tearing without using vsync (which induces mouse lag). The impact on performance is neglectable at worse.
