FPS drop after alt tab

[Fivezero]

Does anyone know if there is a proper fix for this?

i play CS:GO in fullscreen windowed so i can alt tab when im dead/waiting normally i get 120 FPS but as soon as i alt tab and come back it goes back and forth between 30 and 40 fps

If i go to settings and switch the game to fullscreen or just windowed mode then back to fullscreen windowed it will go back to 120fps untill i alt tab again its a pain to keep doing this in game all the time

How much ram is in your PC? It may have to do with background services in windows..

right click 'Computer', then top left click advanced system settings, advanced tab, performance settings.. then advanced tab again... what box is ticked for 'best performance of'

I assume you are running a variant of windows 7...

yeah then i don't know why that would be happening,.. maybe pagefile?....

try minimizing the pages you have in the background once you go back into the game, does that help?

...... that sux.. sorry I can't help.... I run in fullscreen and do use alt+tab, it works, but does take a couple seconds to reload the game... but this way I am getting the same fps I was before I alt+tabbed....

Again i got the same problem, valve should fix this, ingame 320fps but as soon you alt tab and comes back i get fps drop down to 50-80. 16gb ram, ssds 3770k cpu running 4.8ghz yeah its prob my pc, its mixed with a amd 290x 4gb gddr5 ram.

same thing :D from 300 fps down to 170 and drops suddenly to 80 + and -.. You can feel the lags quite a lot. Still looking for some suggestions / fixes.

It was post from 2014... Anniversarry update was in 2016... see the diffrence? :P

Umm...I actually have a reverse issue here. When i turn CS GO On, my fps is about 70, and after minimizing the game and maximizing it again, it gives me the real fps ...It jumps from 70 to 120 after one minimize...Even tho, ingame it's around 300...

Thank you mate! CSGO was locked 30 fps in OBS when alt+tab and this command fixed the problem!
