How to Fix: Low 1%FPS when playing but Alt tabbing increases it

Low FPS while gaming but alt tabbing improves it, likely due to GPU resource sharing or driver issues.


The low FPS (Frames Per Second) issue when playing is likely caused by a high CPU usage, which can be resolved by optimizing the game settings or updating the graphics drivers.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Verified Fix:

  1. Step 1: Reduce in-game graphics settings: Lower the graphics quality, resolution, or shadow quality to reduce CPU usage. This can be done by going to the game's settings menu and adjusting the graphics settings.
  2. Step 2: Update graphics drivers: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up-to-date, as outdated drivers can cause performance issues. You can check for updates in the Device Manager or through the graphics card manufacturer's website.
  3. Step 3: Disable unnecessary background applications: Close any unnecessary background applications or background processes to free up system resources and reduce CPU usage. This can be done by using the Task Manager or System Configuration tool.
