How bad do wallpapers impact in-game performance?
I never usually use backgrounds when I am playing a game because I am afraid of getting performance loss. So I don't know how bad or if there even is any fps loss.

You can change the option "other application fullscreen" to "stop" though which will even unload the wallpaper completely, so it doesn't even occupy any RAM or VRAM while you're playing.
