Major FPS drops after switching tabs

When in a match of overwatch whenever I alt + tab or windows key out of the game and then tab back into the game the fps is halved until it is unplayable. The games fps drops down to as low as 22 fps. Looking at the forums of similar reports they suggested discord overlay being the problem, but i do not have that on and my friends and I are still having the same issue. Thank you so much for you helping figure out what is causing this issue.

I don’t know if this helps but I will list the programs I run when encountering this problem and my specs of the pc. All drivers are up to date.

Programs running:

  • chrome (4 tabs)
  • discord
  • steam
  • Voice Meeter
  • Overwatch 2 (running fullscreen)

PC specs

  • Amd Ryzen 9 5900x
  • 4070 ti super
  • n7 b550 motherboard
  • 64gb ddr4 3200mhz
  • game is on a samsung 980 pro 1tb

#Metoo

The frames start off good and gradually slow down to below 30fps. I’ve seen on one occasion in-game a guy was talking about that happening to him. Must be a new bug from the last major update i guess?

Chrome, steam and many other open apps.
