Does borderless affect performance in BF4

[Rhett Quigley]

Title speaks it.

Borderless usually decreases performance a little in any game, but not very much

No.

Unless you increase the resolution (which borderless does not do) then you will not experience any decreases.

Apparently there is very slight input lag (at least there is for CSGO, not sure about other games)

When you run in full screen the gpu does not draw the desktop or anything below the game window, it does however when it is run in borderless. Thats why I said that it does decrease but it is usually minimal.

The GPU isn't drawing anything but the game in both modes. If you don't see it then the GPU is not drawing it, simple as that. You might say when a game is loading and the GPU experiences load but nothing is there yet it's because it;s drawing behind that loading screen, but actually it's because the CPU is loading up the memory of the GPU with everything is needs to run the game.
