I'm having troubles to figure out how Borderless works

[StareX]

So I'm trying to figure out Windowed Borderless or Fullscreen Borderless modes..

 

I mean I'm not having troubles with Fullscreen but it is annoying to alt tab and check things out, always bothers me ..

 

But, when I try Fullscreen/Windowed Borderless mode, it works.. but uhm.. micro stutters? and there's fps lag I think? sometimes it's smooth but not really... it feels choppy aswell, maybe? Im not sure tbh, but there are microstutters.. it's annoying, yet I love it.

 

So what's up? is it my 60Hz monitor? Because my friends say it's completely fine with their 120/144 Hz monitors.. and Im all like "u sure?"

 

Specs:

GTX 980 Ti

i5 3570k

16GB RAM

Windows 10 pro

I believe having games set to anything except Fullscreen causes Windows to render everything using explorer.exe which may cause stutters and lags. If you can, stick to fullscreen.

But how come my friends who have 120Hz/144Hz monitors, don't have this sort of lag? Streamers don't too..
