Hardware
Key points
- Easy multi-tasking.
- Can usually be modified to work as a borderless fullscreen windowed mode.
- Often toggled with Alt+↵ Enter but for many games it has to be enabled manually.
- Some games do not have a native windowed mode (see Forced windowed mode).
Force windowed mode
- Great for older games which have no native windowed mode support such as the Black & White series.
D3DWindower
- Allows to have and use multiple configurations at once.
- On certain cases it might even fix performance issues allowing older games to get past 30 FPS and such.
- Might appear complicated to use at first.
- D3DWindower has to be run with admin rights on. See Windows compatibility mode.
