1-2 FPS up to 4 sec after any alt tab involving a game - on a GTX 1080

So I've been having this problem for about a month now.

My frame rate completely tanks for up to 3 or even 4 seconds after an alt tab, when it never used to before. Because I'm running a single monitor setup this is obviously infuriating to me.

I'm on a GTX 1080 and I'm primarily playing older games, so resources should not be an issue. I tried switching to performance mode in power options in both Nvidia control panel and for my pc control panel, but to no avail. Since this is a new issue I never had before I'm betting it's my own doing in tinkering with some settings.

Please help!
