Question / Help CPU Usage

[UncleBen123]

I'm sorry for the perhaps ignorant question, but I was wondering if recording a game like csgo or Elite Dangerous while playing in fullscreen mode is less/more intensive on your cpu than playing in windowed mode?

FPS should not change, because the encoder is still working with the same settings and the same resolution (if you keep your games in borderless mode). The only thing that can change the FPS, is the game itself when set to windowed or fullscreen.
