I've noticed this problem with CSGO lately. When starting the game I play at a comfortable 120 fps with no stutter. According to MSI afterburner the game is using around 1000mb of VRAM.
However, when I alt+tab out of the game and go back in, MSI reports the VRAM usage dropping to around 400-500 mb. The game gets choppy as all hell, with massive input delay and huge frame-time issues, at the same time dropping to around 40-50 fps. NOTHING fixes this other than restarting the game. Resetting my display drivers did nothing too.
I've already uninstalled my drivers with DDU and reinstalled them. No luck. Is it possible that my system could be pushing VRAM to utilise system ram instead, and how can I prevent this? Thank you very much.
My system specs:
Sapphire Dual-X AMD R9 280X 3GB VRAM
intel i5 4460k 3.2GHz
Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 3
Memory: 8192 MB RAM
Page file: 3574 MB used, 16757 Available (could this be an issue)
