Hello Tom's Hardware, I'm coming here to see if anyone can help me with an issue I'm having. First thing, a bit about my setup.
Currently I'm Running 64-bit Windows 8.1. My Monitor is a Benq xl2420TE 144hz gaming monitor for my main monitor and my second monitor is an Asus monitor that is 60 HZ 24" not exactly sure the model of it.
My Rig contains an i5-2500k Overclocked to 4.4 Ghz with 16gb of Gskill Ripjaws Ram @ 1866mhz along with a r9 290x stock AMD graphics card. PSU is 750 Watt and the motherboard is asrock extreme 6 z77 Motherboard.
Now for the issue. Currently when I'm playing a game such as Counter strike Global offensive for example. If I'm playing without anything else running I will be Around 300-400 FPS since it's not that demanding of a game. My Monitor can run 144 FPS though so It is as smooth as butter to me. But when I turn on a stream or a youtube video my FPS will drop to about 230-300 FPS which is still well above 144hz. Thing is that the game just starts to feel extremely laggy like I'm getting sub 60 fps type of Lag. It's almost like the game is frame skipping or something it's really hard to describe but I don't understand why it all the sudden changes like this when my performance is still above the maximum of my FPS.
Counter strike isn't a very demanding game at all and I swear my frames NEVER drop bellow 230 FPS while in game.
If anyone knows what could be causing these issues I'd appreciate the input. I've tried to completely remove all AMD drivers by uninstalling and using a driver removing tool from tech power up I think it was. Doing a fresh install of Both the Beta drivers 14.7 and the stable release 14.4 drivers but nothing is working.
