FPS drops when alt tabbing

[mr_incognito]

Does anyone know how to fix fps drops whenever I alt tab? cause it only happens when ever i play tom clancy's rainbow six siege.

does the fps go back up when you alt-tab back in?

idk what you mean by that

but i have it capped at 80 fps but then it will drop at random times like in a gun fight and it will drop to 40-30 fps

You are describing 2 different situations.

 

Usually alt tabbing takes you out of the focused program you are running and is common for frames to drop as it is no longer the focused program.

 

Have you tried lowering video settings and isolating possibilities?  You said this only happens in Siege, no other games?  I'd check your graphics settings.  If that doesn't work, try reinstalling Siege.  Did it ever work properly?

I use competitive video settings so i dont think its that and i also reinstalled the game and it worked for a week or so then it just started happening again,
