Long time reader, first time posting. You guys are an awesome resource so thanks in advance.
The question I have today has to do with my EVGA GTX 570. When I initially boot up games (SC2, Mirrors Edge, Deadspace 2, Crysis) card runs with decent fps, runs cool, etc etc. HOWEVER! If I tab out of the game back to windows, upon resume my card will go from like 50% usage, to 90-100% usage, stays under 70c, and my frames, particularly is crysis, go from like 33 ish to 45 ish on all max settings.
Why doesn't the card automatically perform at max like that all the time, and why the heck does tabbing out to my desktop and then back to game cause it to be fully utilized?
Is there any danger to a card running 100% in games, and if not anybody know a fix so it will without having to alt+tab every time I boot up a game?
Thanks again for reading ya'll. Any input much appreciated.
