Why is Fullscreen still a thing when Borderless exists?

Why is 720x480 still a resolution option?

this

because borderless is awful and just causes problems.

Man LoveCom was so good.

Cause Borderless can cause freezing?

because Exclusive Fullscreen lets the application have complete control on the graphics card which gives better performance on average

Borderless is convenient but when you're playing something where input lag and/or every CPU/GPU cycles counts you'd be a complete idiot to choose the convenience of borderless compared to the performance

Black Desert Onlines give me 30% more fps when in Fullscreen compared to borderless for example

Borderless fullscreen is just window mode which is terrible for games. The only advantage is multitasking but that isn't an issue if you set your display scaling to use your gpu instead of the display.

Performance can vary depending on the game and on W10 in particular DWM will force v-sync. The only games where I really noticed a difference though was FPS. Always use exclusive fullscreen for those but borderless window for pretty much anything else.

Why are wooden bridges still a thing when metwl bridges exist? How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? Who is John Galt?

you forgot the most import question, was OP ever straight?

>>377852470
Some games run like shit in borderless mode, so fullscreen is a must.

what's display /gpu scaling and what does it matter

>>377854060
Also want to know. I saw some "pro" guide for OW say to set it to GPU, but everything I googled said that setting it to GPU instead display caused input lag.

GPU scaling generates resolutions that your display can't handle.
Or something like that.

>>377852985
But if you have windows aero enabled then borderless windowed objectively gives you better performance than fullscreen.

fullscreen with vsync it is I guess

>>377852470

Games run better in full screen (NONBORDERLESS)

>>377854747
is that a fact?

>>377854885
Yes, unless the game is poorly made then windowed mode with windows aero enabled gives you better performance. However it's negligible and is going to give you 1-2 FPS more at best.

>>377852470
console ports can't handle it. Whenever I windowed mode in a console port it fucks up

Blizzard makes the best PC games around and they benefit from borderless mode

>>377854948
still worth a try, thanks anon

Lower input lag and such.

>>377852470
better performance

>>377854747
No it doesn't. The only objective thing it does it gives you 1 extra frame of input lag.

>using windows

LOL

>>377852621
Isn't 800x600 the lowest resolution for PC's now?

>>377853057
This hasn't been an issue since Windows XP/Vista. WIndowed/borderless has the exact same framerate as fullscreen now unless you have a toaster CPU.The primary advantage of fullscreen is forcing a custom vsync or running an unlocked framerate.

>>377855108
Is this true? I've never noticed.

>>377854060
GPU scaling is for forcing non-native aspect ratios. Let's say you have an old game that was designed for 4:3. Tyoically your monitor will stretch it to 16:9 and it will look ugly, but if you set scaling to GPU and maintain aspect ratio, the game will have black bars on the side so you can play in 4:3.

>>377856630
There's definitely less input lag on fullscreen, borderless rarely has big performance drops, but it isn't unheard that borderless killed performance in some games

Borderless is for autistic people.

How does Aero/Metro vsync work anyway? You can rungames with an unlocked framerate but there's no screen tearing.
