Alt+tab causes FPS drops

Recommended Posts

Hi, i have been playing arma 2 for about 2 years now and i seem to be having a strange problem that I have started noticing whenever i alt+tab out of game and back in. I recently started playing with some friends in the multiplayer and using Teamspeak to communicate, the problem is when i alt+tab out of the game to check a PM in TS and go back to the game i notice my FPS drops down to around 10 sometimes even lower. It will then stay around there unless I restart the game.

I usually get around 25fps on average which is fine for me. Below is my basic PC spec.

Intel Core i3 2100

8gb Ram

MSi Radeon 6770

Windows 7

I have also been using MSI afterburner to monitor my system ingame, when I alt+tab out and at normal idle status. It seems that whenever i alt+tab out of game and back in, my GPU usage drops down and levels at around 25-30% when normally it might be 60-80% or higher. Again, only restarting the game will bring my FPS back up to a playable level.

Any help is appreciated and if you need more info i am happy to provide.
