Hey there, I had a similar situation with my BENQ monitor. The backlight stopped working, so I switched it to an ACER model. Before the change, I was consistently hitting 120+ FPS across all games in both windowed and fullscreen modes. Now, in fullscreen I’m seeing 20-23 FPS, but the windowed mode still performs well. Someone might suggest checking for driver updates, GPU compatibility, or background processes affecting performance. Let me know if you want more tips!

I don't have the answer, but I just wanted to mention it's a really striking mustache.

Check if similar issues occur in other titles. Consider reinstalling the GPU driver in safe mode.

It has occurred in various games. I haven't used DDU before, but I'm open to trying it.
