This is true for EVERY game on my pc. I have downloaded new games off of steam and they do the same. If I have them in full screen, they run at 7fps. All the time. No matter what. partial screen, they still run at 7 fps. When I click out of the window, it shoots up to 120-130fps.

Specs:
CPU: AMD fx 8370@4.66GHz
RAM: 8gb 2133mhz Avixer Core
GPU: Geforce GTX 660 and Radeon POS for more ports
Mobo: M5A97 r2.0
CPU cooler: hyper 212 evo with aftermarket fan.



Its not thermal throttling, its not the second GPU, its not any of the overclocks. Please help?

So let me get this straight, when in full screen or windowed mode you get 7fps and when clicked out you get 120 to 130? How are you measuring the frames? Fraps? Shadow Play or in game command/setting.

I have an issue with MSAA and AA in general. Especially in CSGO. It's the same slow motion you are describing. Normally I just turn AA off and back on and game resumes to normal. Try that. See if it helps.

That didn't work, but I just started fiddling around. Turning it to 1920x1080, then turning it off of fullscreen, then putting it back to 5760x1080 and then putting it back to fullscreen did the tick
