New monitor (Dual Setup) FPS issues
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, wasn't sure if it should be in the forum for GPUs or Hardware or not.
I have 2 monitors (1920 x 1080) connected to my Nvidia GTX 770:
BenQ XL2430T (Primary)
BenQ E2420HD (Secondary)
I currently have my XL2430T (Primary) set to 120hz and my E2420HD (Secondary) set to 60hz both connected by DVI.
This is the first time I have had more than a single monitor so sorry if this is a stupid question.
I have noticed that if I have a game running on my secondary monitor (60hz) while I have anything else on my primary monitor (120hz), I get FPS drops for that game.
If I play the game on my primary monitor (120hz) while having anything else on my secondary monitor (60hz) there are no FPS drops.
I also get no FPS drops if I play a game on my secondary monitor if I lower my primary monitor from 120hz to 60hz and have both monitors running at 60hz, and I know that it seems stupid to be playing a game on the secondary monitor but I am still curious.
So in short it seems I only get FPS drops with games on my secondary monitor (60hz) when my primary monitor is set above 60hz.
I guess my main question is, should this be happening? Is this just the limit of my GPU or is there something else possibly at play here?
extra specs incase you need them:
Processor: i7 2600 3.40GHz 3.70Ghz
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Win7 Home Premium 64 bit
Currently the only real game I have tested this with is Shovel Knight and being that it isn't really a graphic intensive game, I figure that this shouldn't be a problem.
thanks,
