There are two things that have to be enabled for this bug to exist.

1.) "Reduce frame rates while minimized" or whatever it is.
2.) Some kind of frame cap. Be it vsync. Fast vsync. Gsync.

What is occurring: For whatever reason, the driver or the game thinks that the game isn't in focus. The clock rate (speed, power) of the graphics card drops to next to nothing. What should be a smooth 144 or 120 fps experience on a 3080, 3090, becomes a 12-20 fps experience.

How to fix: Turn off the reduced framerate when minimized. Set the frame cap to off, or set it to the full refresh rate of your monitor. Even going down to 120hz from my own 144hz native rate will trigger this bug unless I set the refresh rate of my monitor to 120hz first in the driver suite, and then run "Full" refresh rate in final fantasy.

Let me know if this fixes it for you.
I have a 3060 with a 144hz monitor and before today's maintenance I had the fps locked at 72 and it worked, after I encountered an issue with the fps lock(for 144 i had like 90, for 72 i had around 49), but now even with no limit cap it is locked at 41-45
