Another point, my menu fps went from 140 to 399 fps. Borderless having less fps because of sharing the GPU is just borderless' con. In borderless window and fullscreen mode, it doesn't allow me to adjust the resolution. No more risk of crashing in badly optimized games when you want to switch songs or check your email. well, there are some games that (at least on my system) run better in borderless windowed than in straight-up fullscreen. 4790K overclocked, dual 980s, SSDs, etc.
