More FPS when I alt-enter the game

Weird issue I'm having here. When I start the game, I get 40 - 50 FPS in the main screen and game until I press alt-enter to make the game windowed. When I press that combo again, I jump to 100+ fps ...

    I may have found the culprit - it could be either Nvidia reflex or variable rate shading. 

    I turned off variable rate shading (it went on automatically with the ultra setting) and I changed reflex from On+Boost to just On.

    I don't have the issue anymore.

    Edit: I turned on variable rate shading and it seems fine (I turned it back on because it's supposed to be "free performance") but when I turned boost back on for reflex, I got the issue again. In my case it's reflex on+boost that's causing the issues.

@bergi9Thank you, I thought I was going crazy. I tried everything, and have the same issue. I'm gaining like 60 - 70 FPS pressing alt-enter and going back and forth from windowed to fullscreen.

    Well, I changed the reflex from "On+Boost" to "On". It did improve the FPS drastically but still not the highest FPS it can achieve. Toggling between windowed and fullscreen will further increase the FPS.
    With reflex "On+Boost" I have around 55 FPS in menu at after starting the game.

    With reflex "On" I have around 165 FPS in menu at after start.

    With toggling between windowed and fullscreen it maxed to 170FPS in menu (as I have vsync enabled).

    But still in overall: changing to "On" improved it at start, still toggling is better.

    Nvidia Reflex shouldn't be used in this game. It's good for games where latency is important (shooters for example) - here it just drains fps by limiting frame queueing. The game is also notorious for simply being out of focus at start. That's probably what's causing the difference in fps when going out and in.

      I wonder if anyone at CM/EA is looking at this, or is this more of a nvidia issue? Didn't see any mention of this in the patch notes.
