1440p & 1080p dual display

[Robert Blunt II]

Recently I bought the following monitors:
Dell S2716GDR 144Hz 1440p
Dell SE2717 HR 60Hz 1080p

When I jump monitors, for example if I have World of Warcraft or Destiny 2 on the 1440p monitor then the 1080p drastically drops in frames(be that twitch stops responding or YouTube ect ect). The same thing happens vice versa if I click over to the 1080p then my 1440p drops to 60 frames.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, you can try the following:

-In nvidia control panel under "Adjust desktop size and composition" Set the aspect ratio to happen on GPU instead of display on both displays.
-In The game set the game to full screen, also helps.
-Also in chrome advanced settings you might want to switch off hardware acceleration, but the first item should fix your issue.
-I would also switch vsync off in games if it is on.

Good luck.

I run dual displays, one 3440x1440 100Hz and a 2560x1440 60Hz never have had this issue.

Running in Fullscreen mode defeats the purpose of having two monitors, as you still have to tab out to go to the second monitor and in most if not all cases it still minimized the game. You should be running Windowed (Fullscreen) with any game that runs it properly. (some games alter the resolution and refresh rate so that's not possible, in THOSE cases you have to run Fullscreen mode or Windowed mode) WoW runs Windowed (Fullscreen) properly so that's not an issue. And I'm assuming since Destiny 2 is an Activision game it should be similar enough that it should also run properly in W(F) mode.

I would reset the Nvidia Control panel settings to default (I run on default and have never had this issue), to make sure there are no power saving settings applied or whatnot, and possibly use DDU to clean your drivers and reinstall them.

It wouldn't hurt to check your power management settings as well and make sure that's not set to power saving mode or something. For my purposes I find "Balanced" works just fine and i've even had issues when running Performance mode, so you might have to fiddle with it.

Check to make sure that in Windows and NCP both monitors are set to run correctly (extended, mirrored, etc.) and that each has it's correct resolution and refresh rate set as well.

Lastly, might be a long shot, but make sure in WoW or Destiny that you have the background FPS setting turned off. There might be something like that for NCP as well, especially if you are running a graphic as your desktop background and software to control it.
