FPS drops while focusing on specific window

[BestestCohen]

Hi. Recently I've been facing an annoying little bug. When I use AutoDesk Fusion 360, 3d printer slicers or BlueJ, I notice that my mouse won't move as smooth as it moves on other windows, the windows are lightly flickers and once I refocus on Chrome, it turns back to normal (smooth mouse, 165hz, and no flickers).

 

• Windows 10 64bit
• I7 8700K (not overclocked), asus rog strix 1080ti (no overclock), Corsair CX650M PSU, 1 Samsung 970 250gb, 1 Samsung 970 500gb, 1 Samsung 860 1tb, Corsair Vengence 32gb RAM (4x8), Noctua D14, 3 monitors; 2 Dell S2417DG and 1 Samsung C24F390.
• BIOS version 2301
• Every time I use BlueJ or Fusion 360. Might be more applications but these two are my most used ones.
• When I focus the above's windows, my monitors start flickering slightly, the mouse feels alot slowly and not as smooth (I can see it's tracks when usually I don't) and once I refocus Chrome, it's all back to normal until I focus back the above's windows.
• Disabled Chrome's acceleration and it seemed to work but after couple of minutes it got back to the way it was.

 

I was wondering if GPU upgrade would do the trick? Maybe the three monitors are too heavy for it?

Tried to install a clean version of Windows, all updates and everything, and even when just Chrome and BlueJ were installed the problem still occurred. 

 

Appreciate the assistance!!

Havent noticed any issues on my 1080ti. You sure it dosen't run variable refresh rate or something, g-sync?

G sync is on, tried to limit the FPS to 144 and 60 with a software called "RTSS Rivatuner Statistics Server" but it worked for a day and then returned to the way it was.

On games, Chrome, day to day tasks it works perfectly. But, once I enter some spesific software (3d slicers, java development enviroment, etc it drops the frames to 60 and below.

Also, I can see that on the FPS test website. Once I focus BlueJ it drops the FPS to 60 and lower, and once I click on Chrome it returns to 165hz..

Do you have g-sync set to fullscreen ?

If not try that:

Set to fullscreen, then it might solve your issue.. Edit: was only showing the picure to guide you easier.

Done.

Seems to work.
