Fullscreen or Windowed Borderless

[KenjjiS]

Hey what is tje difference bettewen fullscreen and window borderless like u can check the taskbar withou having to stop the game or put in task  but are any differences in framerate or temps?

fullscreen can give you access to more settings like brightness but windowed borderless lets you tab in and out without needing to deal with the black flicker bullshit and you can have windows ontop of windowed borderless where as with fullscreen the game disapears as soon as you tab out.

framerates might be lower a little bit, but I use it any way in pubg, quake and other games

I would say 1% lower frames at most 2%. I'm playing BDO and Destiny 2 and some other demanding games like heavy modded Arma 3 or Squad and I see 1FPS different if any at all.

lower frame rates in fullscreen?

or is it lower in borderless?

Adding to everything else is that in Fullscreen mode the game runs in your highest refresh rate *for example 144hz* , while in borderless is only limited to 60

No it doesn't. Borderless fullscreen will use whatever you've set your desktop to.

I don't think I've noticed any drops in framerate.  I perfer borderless windowed where I can so I can use my side screens without minimizing or alt tabbing out of my game.
