    Non Aero vs Aero difference?


    I just was wondering if disabling Aero during gaming really made any difference. Or if that's just some troubleshooting fallacy. If it does make any sort of difference on performance, is there a faster way to disable it. I really like having transparent windows and such when I'm surfing the web, but I want to be able to hotkey it or something to turn it off on the fly. I know some games will ask you if you want them to turn it off, and after noticing that, I was also wondering if there is a prompt I can add to their startup files or something to disable Aero automatically.

    Thanks

    turning off aero will save resources and less work for your graphics card.

    or there is this program (i prefer the context menu option on the desktop) Windows Aero Switcher is a free portable tool that allows you to turn Windows Aero On/Off with just one click. >>> Windows Aero Switcher : Turn Aero On/Off With One Click | door2windows

    I did the the context menu one in under a minute, and I prefer to not have any extra programs, no matter how small. Seems to be working great! Thanks again.

    AFAIK Windows suspends Aero theme when running full screen applications.

    Either way, here's a small article on Aero performance hit on games:
