GPU MINIMIZING SOME GAMES AFTER RESOLUTION CHANGE

[Sebarobbie]

Hi , i currently own a GTX 1080 TI ROG STRIX edition. Its pretty overkill for some of my gaming. I mostly play CS:GO competitively and i like to take advantage of the famous called "stretched" resolution but sometimes my GPU seems to deny the resolution by taking me out of the game. It sometimes fixes itself when restarting but this is pretty annoying. I had done so many things to fix this , from : DDU to verifying the game files. I have even changed some of the NVIDIA control panel options which doesnt seem to work. The only thing that mostly fixes the issue is getting back to the normal 1080p resolution. I just want to get the competitive advantage without sacrificing much. 

 

In a few words , the game basically minimizes itself whenever im trying to get in. 

 

PS: I just noticed that this bug is happening with some other games too. When there is some type of graphical change that requires the monitor to go into a black screen is when the bug happens.

Are you playing fullscreen or borderless windowed?

There's your issue. Something is having popups, and since game and desktop are so different in resolution, it will minimize when popup comes through. Options: borderless windowed mode, disable all popups or use 3rd party software to force focus on game window.
