    Question Having a really strange bug when tabbing out of fullscreened applications.

    So when I tab out of full screen applications, occasionally all of the windows seem to run at like 3-5 fps, but for some reason, mouse movement is still perfectly smooth.

    Question My GPU is causing screen tearing whilst in full screen

    I just bought a 2060 and on my second monitor (60 Hz) when I put my applications in full screen it causes stuttering/ screen tearing. I can’t find a solution online but I believe it’s due to the GPU’s FPS being higher than the maximum Hz of my monitor. If there a way I can cap it? Or any other fix?
