Lag when alt-tabbing out of CS:GO

[☆ veL]

FPS is not a problem. In case you ask, my specs are i5 4690k, GTX 970, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and 750W PSU. I do not have this problem with other games I play like Garry's Mod, Rocket League, and Audiosurf. Only when I play CS:GO, whenever I alt-tab, I get at least 2-3 seconds of a frozen screen. This is very annoying and I wish there was a way to get rid of it. Maybe you guys can help

Try to like... Not tab out? To me this seems like a reliable way to fix it.

Hello

Some people report that disabling Aero and DWM for csgo.exe fixes the issue, so you may want to try that.

Run the game in a borderless window instead of fullscreen. While this is, in theory, detremental to performance, it doesnt matter for CSGO as its not demanding to begin with.
