Hey guys, i below is my rig, i use dual screen monitors and i find whenever i'm playing a youtube video whilst playing a video game for example my FPS will decrease to roughly 15-20 until i close the video, this sometimes also happens if i just have another explorer window open. Nothing is OC'd and was wondering why this happens, (this also happens when i stream) and is there anything i can do to stop this?

KFA2 GeForce GTX 670 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express graphics card
Intel Core i5-3570k 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W)
MSI Z77 MPower Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Cool Master Hyper 612S CPU Cooler
OCZ ZS Series 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply

-recently fresh installed the OS

If I can stream perfectly fine on my Phenom then i'm sure the i5 would be more than capable.

There seems to be another issue here.

Are you running your monitors at the same refresh rate?


Also, is this across all games? Or only certain ones?

streaming will lower your fps. Depending on your resolution, the stream resolution, what quality setting you have etc. Having the xsplit preview window visible slows it down, and the bigger it is the more it slows it down.

Watching a video will tend to drop your fps, a little bit, because its something else for the cpu/gpu to do. But, this shouldnt be that noticeable (1-5 fps etc). What browser are you using to play the video? is it set to html 5 or flash? if you view your cpu usage while doing it, is a load of % being dedicated t the browser? What resolution is the video?

chrome
flash
its not always a video that slows it down, sometimes just having the browser on slows my game down. also while im ingame it's capped at 60fps whilst set to uncapped when ive seen people with not as great pcs go higher? someone mentioned it could be something in my bios?

you need to look at cpu and gpu usage while it happens and let us know what they are. Take a screenshot of task manager processes tab, and use msi afterburner to see gpu usage

There's the top part of my task manager whilst the fps was dropping. GPU usage didnt go above 40% on my MSI afterburn either.
