I consistently experience high frame rates while gaming. I generally use the Alt-Tab function for task switching. However, upon returning to the game, my FPS plummets from 80 to 20. This issue persists across all titles, and restarting my computer is the only effective resolution. It’s incredibly frustrating because I can't complete a single match without needing to reboot. My system hasn’t always exhibited this behavior; it began happening sporadically several months ago, and it continues unabated.

It appears your computer isn’t properly allocating resources to the game when you bring it into focus. That’s a peculiar issue. Why are you constantly switching windows with Alt-Tab?

The system appears to be struggling to properly allocate resources to your game upon bringing it back as the active application. That’s a peculiar error. Why do you repeatedly switch between windows during gameplay?

I frequently need to interrupt and examine different elements, and so on.

I frequently need to pause and examine details, for example.
This resembles behavior from someone running a gaming lounge :v

Have you been playing with the updated game mode for that title? If you have, attempt to turn it off. Otherwise, consider activating it; either option could potentially provide a solution.

Regarding the issue:

Please check if you’re utilizing the updated gameplay mode for that particular title. If you are, attempting to turn it off could be beneficial. Conversely, if you aren't using it, try activating it – either option might resolve the problem.

This isn’t limited to just one game; I’m observing a decrease in performance when viewing videos across all titles.

I apologize for the delayed response.

Is it consistently at a low value, or does it momentarily decrease before returning to its usual level? Upon switching back to the game, the initial frame displays a reduced reading that quickly recovers.
