Built my current PC in November after my GTX 1080 finally died. I decided to give AMD a shot for my new GPU and went all out on a new rig. 9800X3D CPU, AIO cooler, the works.
My current monitor situation is using an ASUS VG278 as my primary and a BenQ XL 2411Z as my secondary. (I used to use the BenQ as my primary but since it only supports HDMI and DVI, and the 144hz won't work when using the HDMI and the XFX Merc 310 7900 XTX doesn't have DVI, it's been relegated. I now have a DP connection to the ASUS and an HDMI connection to the BenQ)
It started out getting GPU driver timeouts when I would have a twitch stream or youtube video on my second monitor while playing a game, mostly CS2, but has timed out in other games like Marvel Rivals and God of War, but has been completely fine on less intensive games like HOI4 (even with intensive mods like Kaiserreich) and PowerWash Simulator. I have tried changing my GPU clock speeds, CPU speeds, messed around with XMP/EXPO, did complete driver reinstalls (minimal, driver only, complete AMD Adrenalin), made sure my power draw was sufficient, monitoring my temps, reseated the GPU, and did a complete reinstall of drivers using DDU.
I found that disconnecting my secondary monitor from my PC solved my issues with timeouts in CS2. I can't be sure if this is an issue with different outputs, or just the BenQ monitor getting old (it's backlight is burnt out and because I'm not in the states they won't send me a new one, plus the model seems to be out of production).
Looking for similar experiences and possible fixes aside from buying a new monitor with DP input.
