Sure, just to clarify—doing games at 720p might improve your gaming experience, but running Windows at 720p won’t really help unless you’re trying to match your display resolution. Your 1080p monitor will still show the full resolution, so the difference is mainly about what you see, not how much you can run.

You seem to be having trouble with Windows? It might mean your system isn’t powerful enough. Windows doesn’t require high graphics power, but running at lower resolutions actually improves performance. In practice, the difference between 4K and 640x480 won’t be noticeable, though using it at lower resolutions will be much smoother.

I should clarify my explanation better. Running the OS at 720p while playing games at 720p won't necessarily improve performance.

Not really. Any performance variation would be less than 0.01%. The only apparent issue is that icons on your desktop might shift when the screen size changes to 720p for a game, though they usually realign when you switch back.

Windows and rendering games function differently. Game resolutions vary, which can be adjusted in the game's settings. Each setting is specific to that game, meaning each one is displayed at its assigned resolution. Because they differ so much, the conclusion is NO—there’s no performance improvement!
