When I play games in windowed (fullscreen), I get over 60fps, though it feels like I'm looking at 60fps. Is this just the sad fact of windowed (fullscreen) gaming, or is there a way to fix this? Can you guys see all of your frames in windowed borderless as if you were in fullscreen? I feel like I'm not making the most out of my 165Hz monitor when playing anything but CS:GO which I play in fullscreen for the extra performance.
For example, I play World of Warcraft in windowed (fullscreen), I get 120-170fps though it feels like I'm looking at 60fps. If I switch to fullscreen I get the exact same fps, but it is much smoother, I can clearly tell the difference, I'm seeing the frames I should be. This is the same for all windowed (fullscreen) games I play. I still play WoW in windowed (fullscreen) though for the convenience of hopping between monitors at will.
It would be awesome not to have to choose between performance and convenience.

Sorry if this has been posted before, I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere.
