Do you use frame generation?

Yes I do. Updating driver seems to have solved it

Ordinarily it’s because the FG will work on the program it’s intended to, and if you open a window on top it will only be at half the refresh rate, ie no frame gen

Hope that makes sense.

But it should work if you click on the main program to make it active again. If you keep the pop out panel focused it will go to half fps.
