League and Diablo 3 both run good enough on the same settings. Also, I did that a few times to switch to a multiplayer civ 5 game. | |

There are three ways of displaying programs (full-screen, windowed, borderless), and all of them have their pros and cons. Borderless having less fps because of sharing the GPU is just borderless' con. While I have no source, I heard that borderless usually only takes ~10% more power to keep the same level of frame rate. If you're getting a huge dip, there might be something else causing the issue. The three screens thing would most certainly be apart of it. | |
