GPU performance better in windowed mode?

Playing Crysis Warhead again after completing the second, and noticed that when i switched to window mode with the same res, it looks better (far more detailed) and the FPS is almost double.

Why is this, if the GPU still has to render the same info at the same resolution, then why is there a performance difference?

I am running on an LG HD 1080p TV at native res if this makes a difference.

This may be obvious to some of you, but im having a hard time working out why! :rolleyes:
 
Its still 1980X1080, only now there is a windows tap covering the top.

Anyway its solved, a post from another forum i found after googling it said try changing some of the content type settings, seems to have 100% sorted the problem.

Something to do with the display being a TV, ill try and find the link, but I cant argue with the results! :) Also changed some Vsync settings and all of the screen tearing is gone and it runs like butter :D
