FPS drop after alt-tabing?

flagship · Jul 13, 2009

When i load up cs:source and play, my fps is where it should be. however, if i alt-tab and come back to css, my fps drops by about half, and i cannot get it back to its proper level without restarting the game. anyone have a clue what the problem could be? i've tried messing around with windows power settings, EIST, and turbo mode to no avail. thanks

try this and see what happens

Code:

right click on *exe file / properties /Compatibility tab:
checked 2 boxes
- Disable visual themes
- Disable Desktop composition

Hmm, thanks for the quick response. it didn't seem to fix it though. i am running windows 7 64-bit, btw. would it matter that, according to task manager, the game is running in 32 bit mode?
