Hello,

I recently bought a new 4K 28inch monitor to use as my main monitor. before that I had a 27 inch 144hz 1080p gaming monitor. now i want to use my gaming monitor as second monitor. I've noticed that when using both screens while i'm gaming on my second monitor i am getting fps drops/lags. They are both connected to my graphics card. with a display port for the gaming monitor and a hdmi for the 4K monitor. do someone now how I can fix this? my pc is normally srong enough to handle both monitors

PC specs:
Ryzen 5 3600
RTX 2070 super
16gb ram 3200

Thank You for responding.
 
Solution
Frame buffer de-sync caused by monitors/screens with different native refresh rates. There's no cheap fix for that.
If your cpu had an Igpu, you could plug the secondary monitor to the motherboard and the primary to the gpu.
