Hey guys. I'm noticing that im taking a 4-5fps hit when in Borderless or Windowed Mode. Just wanted too know why? It's bugging me. LOL

Also notice that the game colours are much richer in those modes.

I have explained why in another post.

Borderless windowed mode does not allow the game to communicate exclusively with the graphics card, hence the performance drop.

To put it simply:
Witcher 3 -> D3D11 -> GPU (Exclusive fullscreen)
Witcher 3 -> D3D11 -> DWM -> GPU (Borderless windowed)

Thanks for the reply. So it's safe to say that playing the game in Borderless Mode is going to give me the proper colour palette but in doing so take an FPS hit?
