#A way to resize a tf2 borderless window without changing res?

The only way to resize the window is to either change the resolution of the game, or to change your resolution system wide, which would of course change the size of the window relative to your whole screen
What are you trying to accomplish? There might be other ways of doing it

If you add a custom resolution of 640x400 in your graphics driver settings, you should be able to use that in fullscreen mode
Really, what gpu?
Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD all offer the feature
there's also custom resolution utility which can help in some cases, particularly with older intel gpus
Wow that is old
I'm not familiar enough with that old of intel gpus to know whether there should be an option for custom resolutions or not
but I think cru should still work
If you're worried about performance I wouldn't go that route
running in windowed mode and using a window upscaler is not going to be a good time on low end hardware like that
best performance will come from running the game in exclusive fullscreen mode
there's potentially some merit to your claim that the act of changing resolutions leads to an uplift in performance, it does cause some things to be reset or reloaded
it could increase or decrease performance
Yeah that's expected
another thing to consider with such a low end gpu is you probably want to use a 4:3 resolution
the lower fov leads to less needing to be rendered than a widescreen res
Also try going to the tf2 exe's properties menu and checking "disable fullscreen optimizations", benchmark with it checked and unchecked
It doesn't matter much on normal computers, but on something extremely old or low end it's likely to have some effect
exclusive fullscreen with no dwm/compositing should perform better, but test both
