window borderless ?

[skipper847]

Hi. Why does my graphics run smoother in windowed borderless instead of normal full screen?. I have a asus vg278he monitor and a 970 Asus strix GTX. I have always ran in full screen and never thought once to run games in window boarderless but yesterday I tried and got more smother frames then full screen. Does it share more power from CPU as well as graphic card in borderless or what as I find this strange?.

I tend to run all my games in borderless windowed mode due to me using two monitors. However i don't know why this could be, usually if any game is going to run slower it would be because of the opposite, as having borderless windowed mode means other apps can function at the same time.

Does this happen in all games?

Not tried I just tried in GTA V but will try others today.

@ Currob. This is what ive been getting too slight stuttering and been trying everything until I decided to try window borderless and it improved.
