More background applications tend to slow down game performance.

In short, yes it does impact performance. It mainly affects CPU, disk, and memory, which is why extra threads, more memory, and an SSD help.
Hey team, I'm focusing on optimizing background apps by keeping only the essential ones.
Seriously, only focus if your RAM and CPU are above 80-90% utilization. Otherwise, no noticeable impact will occur. Problems typically arise only when those resources reach their limits. The GPU is a bit more sensitive—main issues appear when you're running demanding graphics workloads on another monitor or display.
