Lag with FPSers in windowed mode?

[dav9]

Do FPS games naturally run laggy/ jerky & stutter when playing in windowed mode even with high fps?

um no, it should be the same as ever, just you might have a performance hit in windowed, but with modern cards you should be able to take it, unless you were severely border line or insist on using uber settings it should be fine.

I play windowed all the time for an easier gameplay capture, and Windows (7) always disables AERO when I do. I suppose if it wasn't disabled, things could be jerky because of the gui stuff and game stuff running at the same time.

Windowed mode can lower performance.

Seems to only happen on secondary monitor which is connected by vga.
