I have the following issue:
- I launch BF1: 180+fps
- Alt+TAB or Windows key to read something in a browser or discord
- I open my game again: 140+fps
- I can switch between windows and the game as much as I want again: FPS never goes back to 180fps
- But if I stay in my desktop long enough, then return to my game, fps is back to 180+fps
The only cause I can think of, is the Desktop Windows Manager that determins that once a fullscreen game is launched, all GPU power should go to that game. When I go back to desktop, GPU power is reserved for all the things I need in the 2D desktop environment and it can no longer be fully dedicated to that game.
But it seems there is some sort of timer that determins that once an inactive 3D service gets put in the foreground again, like my game, it gets the maximum GPU power again. In my case, back to 180+fps.
To be clear, GPU usage and clockspeeds remain the same in 180+fps or 140+fps, only the framerate is different.
So my question is. How do I force WDM to give full power to my fullscreen game again without waiting minutes between going out of my game and returning to my game.
Here is a demonstration of the issue:
