Hi guys, I'm "suffering" from having a 144hz primary monitor with 2 60hz monitors as well. There is an issue that causes stuttering on your primary monitor if you're playing a borderless game + gsync while watching media on a lower refresh rate monitor.

To try to resolve this, I put in my old 770 to run my 2 extra monitors. The problem is still persisting, so I was wondering if there is something else that I need to do to get this to work propertly? I've heard of people using their iGPU, but I could only get 1 of 2 monitors to display via that method and didn't test the result. Hoping to avoid spending $400 on 2 144hz monitors just to fix this issue, so any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

---- Edit ----

OS: Windows 10
GPU: Primary GTX 1080Ti, secondary GTX 770 (4gb)
PSU: Rosewill 750w (can't remember exact model)
CPU: I7-4790k
Mobo: Asus Sabertooth z97 Mark 2

All parts are in good condition, never put under high stress environments.

To clarify, everything appears to be working fine, secondary monitors are being displayed just fine, but the stuttering persists even when they aren't connected to the primary GPU.
