Any battlefields make screw my nvidia drivers and makes the alt tab slow

Pretty much the title. When I installed bf5 to play and logged on I noticed I alt tab so much slower than in other games. And after this it happened in other games too. Overlays make me black screen for 2 3 seconds when they appear and then after they disappear (Steam overlay, Steelseries GG, etc). I can fix this problem for other games by reinstalling my nvidia drivers, but after I open up any battlefields it starts happening again. 

Im playing on the latest drivers 580.88. My specs are: Ryzen 7 7700, RTX 4070,  Gigabyte B650M D3HP.

I have turned off fullscreen optimizations for battlefield, and globally in the regedit.

  • Run it in borderless windowed and try toggling G-Sync/V-Sync settings. If it keeps happening, reset BF’s config files or reinstall drivers using DDU.

    Tried all of those above. I managed to fix it by putting DX11 on, not DX12 and reinstalling the drivers

  • Bro, what the hell are these games? After putting directx 11 it now fast alt tabs in battlefield, but everything else is slow alt tabbed. Reinstalling drivers makes all the games alt tab fast, but again, after running any battlefield it messes it up, even though its fast in battlefield.
