Windows 10 FPS Drop P3D

[bobruels44 0]

Hey,

 

So I upgraded to windows 10 and I usually get ~55FPS. I have a i7-4790K @4.6, GTX 970, as well as 16GB Ram. 

 

I start off around ~55FPS and then when I click on another program in my second monitor (I.e. efb, pfpx..) and then my frames drop to 17-19. Sometimes it recovers after a minute to 60, but usually it stays that low. My CPU is around 30% and GPU around 40% when this happens, so my system is not under full load. 

 

I've tried setting the application to high priority and real time, as well as set affinity to all cores however this makes 0 difference. 

 

Any ideas?

Never use real time. Try all cores but 0 and 1. Or AF 252

Also, it is normal to drop FPS when the program loses focus.

I know it's normal to drop when looses focus, but I would expect it to resume after I focus it again.

I did figure out what the problem was. It was the menu bar still being visible. I hide the bar and my FPS return to normal.
