What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

When using a texture pack, exclusive fullscreen have a bigger performance impact than borderless. It's supposed to be the opposite.
It's more obvious with DX11, but also impacts OGL.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

• Play the game before to avoid shader compilation stuttering
• Pick this pack https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-super-smash-bros-hd-retexture-project-v4-0-3-august-2015
• Check "Fullscreen", "V-Sync", "Load custom textures" and "Prefetch custom textures". Uncheck "Borderless fullscreen".
• Play.
• It depends on what enhancements and what GPU you have, but you can note stuttering on every new texture scenario and slowdown on the character select screen. If not, put more enhancements. SSAA works well on this one. Also, if you begin a battle, a huge durable slowdown can occur. For some reasons, sometimes, switching between windowed and fullscreen fix it.
• Close the game. Go to the Graphics Panel and check "Borderless Fullscreen".
• Play. Everything is way smoother now.
