Games run better in Background? - deshayzilla - 09-30-2015
So every time I start a game it seems to work great and then eventually slows down. However I found that if I press alt+tab or start the task manager, the game in the background picks right up to full speed. It so strange that it runs perfectly fine in the background instead of running better in the foreground.
I'm on Windows 10
AMD Phenom II X4 3.2 ghz
4GB of ram
Nvidia 750Ti 2GB
The games I've been playing are Mario Kart and Mario Sunshine. Some games have no problem running such as Animal Crossing and Blitz 2003. I'm just baffled by the fact that these games can run full speed, just not when I'm actually playing them.
