OpenGL applications render slowly when not active
I'm using Xorg with i3wm and for some reason when I unselect a window that is using my GPU to render the application slows to ~5fps, is there a way to disable this behaviour?

Re: OpenGL applications render slowly when not active
Do you also use a compositor (picom etc.)
Please post your xorg log and output of "glxinfo".

I do not use a compositor and here is the output of glxinfo

Also what application™ slows down to 5fps? glxgears?

Any games and even stuff like firefox slows down significantly as soon as I select another window

Please test glxgears which will also nicely print the current fps, so we get some data.
Also test the behavior w/ a different WM (eg. openbox) though I don't see where either WM or the driver could lead to this kind of behavior (a gsync output or weird config maybe could, hence the Xorg log, please)
