The games operate well, but multitasking causes significant slowdowns
Hello everyone!
I recently assembled a new PC and it’s performing well overall, especially during gaming. However, when multitasking while playing Borderlands 3, things slow down significantly. My experience was streaming on Discord for a friend, and they mentioned it looked like a PowerPoint presentation. On my end, everything runs smoothly—no lag, stable FPS, and consistent performance even at high graphics settings. Even lowering the settings didn’t affect things.
In another case, when I played Borderlands 3 without streaming, I noticed a major slowdown from Google’s service. It seemed like my typing speed dropped to about one word per minute due to an unusual delay.
I’ve tried several fixes:
- Disabled hardware acceleration on Google, Discord, and my PC.
- Reinstalled GPU drivers (without using DDU).
- Installed CPU drivers from AMD.
- Updated the BIOS.
- Used NVIDIA profile inspector to switch single performance to multi-display mode.
I’m still puzzled about these issues and hope someone here can help with possible solutions. Thank you for your attention.
I looked into my WiFi speeds and saw a download of 337.58 Mbps and an upload of 10.9 Mbps according to Ookla. Still, I’m experiencing this "slow down" when multitasking, like when trying to check the task manager.
