FPS/GPU consumption decreases when the game window becomes focused.
Hey guys... I have forever had the issue in bf4 (and some other games) that when the game window is in focus my fps and GPU Usage% drop... its super frustrating.
Here is what my GPU usage looks like in game (lots of downspikes.)
and here is what it looks like when i click out of the game window but still have the game on screen (just out of focus) and the game runs at high fps.
I have already tried clean install of new drivers multiple times
🙁
Any ideas?

what's your gpu ram/system memory usage?
when the GPU hits 100% the game maintains around 120fps – it drops steadily when usage falls, showing spikes like 120,120,120,15,13,20,120,13.
RAM is currently at 14GB out of 32GB.
Note:
I'm using an i7 6900k with 32GB RAM, 980ti, and the game is installed on an SSD.

the latest image doesn't reveal any performance changes... i can run the game for a while, when it starts dropping FPS, that's when the picture comes from the GPU.
yupp - i just started it... give me a couple of minutes and i'll have something.
thanks for taking the time to assist!

last picture doesnt show any performance difference...can u run game for a while, when it starts dropin fps, thats when u make picture from gpu-z
And here is a graph on CPU core #1.... could it really be a the first core maxing out? I would think a 6900k could handle bf4 with relative ease... I know its a little slower than the 4 core i7's at single threaded tasks but still... that seems crazy right (overall cpu usage is about 29%)
