fps gets capped sometimes

this weird problem is happening where my fps gets capped at my monitor refresh rate (like v-sync) at random intervals. The only way I can get it to stop capping my fps is tabbing in and out of the game. I have fps_max 800 and v-sync disabled in nvidia and tf2 settings

edit: seemed to fix it after I checked the "disable fullscreen optimization" box in hl2.exe>properties>compatibility and updating my bios and gpu driver.

yo i have this problem too
if you have like an 'activate windows' watermark in the bottom right corner of ur screen it might be linked to that
whenever i restart my computer that watermark disappears and in game my fps stops getting capped at monitor refresh rate at random times
no clue why it happens or if this is even the cause but this is what works for me
