Asus G75 // Alt-tab back into application // performance loss

Hello folks,
I've been having serious issues with certain gaming applications, mainly when I alt-tab (due to accident) I get a significant visual performance loss. The game stutters every time I get it back up again. It's definitely happening on GR:FS - and some other full screen programs (GR:FS doesn't have windowed option).

Fraps says the game runs stable on 60 fps as always, but I can clearly see that the game stuttering. I actually have to do a full reboot to have it fixed.
Applications run extremely smooth otherwise.

Also when gaming a certain application for a while, I get 'a less significant performance loss in other games after.

Spec is Asus G75// i7 3610/ GTX 670M

W7 index minimum 7.5
- 8GB memory (3k averaged used).
- Some ancient fast SSD.

nvidia driver: 306.97
OC tool: msi afterburner 2.2.5 b1 (core 720 Mhz (+100), Mem. 1520 (+20)


Is this common with nividia mobile drivers?

I think I have the exact same notebook as you, and unfortunately I don't share the same problems so I can't help you in that regard. Is it specific games you're having trouble with? Because FTL makes my screen flicker when I play it without the adapter plugged in (really odd, no other games/apps does this).

The only thing I can suggest is also taking this inquiry up with the folks at the official ROG forums where they have a section dedicated to G75 owners: G75, G55 & G46 Series Notebooks

Never hurts to get help from two sources.

 

The was another thread with this topic but cannot find it atm.

Try using ThrottleStop. It is free and fixes this.

 

Thanks for the replies, I assume it has something to do with power profile management,because problem is present when unplugging and replugging to power source again. I can never achieve the same max performance when replugging unless I do a reboot.
