Hello,

Whenever I play my game for a bit and alt tab or go to my second monitor my game starts feeling unsmooth and its very annoying, also I have stutters making my FPS drop from time to time.
What could this be, or is something broken in my PC?

I only play Fortnite


Setup:
1080 ti 11gb
i7 7700k 4.5ghz
16gb ram
550w PSU
240GB SSD / 480GB HDD

Perips:
Apex Pro TKL
Glorious Model O
Acer XB241H 180HZ (OC) (MAIN GSYNC)
Optix MAG241C 144HZ

Kind regards,

Kind regards,

I still feel like it's not enough info...

Can you elaborate more?

4C8T even at High clocks can be bogged down easily by AltTabbing. a Fast Moving Game.

 

If your game isn't in FOCUS as a primary app, (clicking off screen)

Some games cut their FPS to 30fps when Not IN Focus.

As an example..

 

 

Beyond that there are too many variables to even go thru without more info narrowing choices down..

I'd rather not list 100 things to check without specifically having a better idea where to start..

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

Well so basically I have 2 problems:

1. Whenever I play my game and alt-tab or go to my second monitor to do something (discord, music, youtube etc.), and go back into the game my game will feel very unsmooth as example I play 180hz but it will feel like scuffed 90hz and I will have it untill I restart my game again.

2. Also, as soon as I go a few FPS below my refreshrate my game feels even more unsmooth then in problem 1, I get input delay, my game starts feeling choppy and I can barely aim/move, on top of that I get micro-stutters all the time as example dropping to 60-120 FPS ingame (fortnite)

What could this be? I don't know how to describe it even more specifically.
