Issues on/with games.

Hey everyone!

So at the begin of this year i got a new mobo , cpu , gpu and ram and i started gaming again, a few months later i got my second monitor they are both philips 60 hz.

They are plugged into my GPU.

GPU: 1060 3GB
CPU: i7 7700
RAM: 8 GB
MOBO: MSI B250 PC MATE
2x Philips monitor 60 hz

My issue:
-Every game i play (fortnite , minecraft , overwatch etc) if i try to play it borderlesswindowed , or windowed my game feels basically slow, i dont have FPS issues, its just like this:
Fullscreen: No delay when i walk or aim.
Windowed / Borderfullscreen: Around 0.5-1s delay with EVERYTHING i do.

Also i dont know if this issue has to do with my PC or the game:
When i go under 120 FPS (capped), my game will feel microstuttery, basically hard to play (even my FPS goes to 119)

This is REALLY annoying since i can't use my second monitor for music, discord etc.
And the Fortnite issue is REALLY annoying aswell.

I hope someone can help me out.

Have a good day!

You should try some of the fixes in this forum: https://hardforum.com/threads/dual-monitors-60hz-120hz-woes.1636481/

Namely, "The fix for me was to go into the Nvidia Control Panel -> Adjust Desktop Size and Position -> and setting "Perform scaling on" to GPU instead of display."

Hey, thanks for your reply,

Do i do it for both monitors?

Try both if they are both stuttering. If only one is acting up, then do it just to that one.

When you plug one monitor into your gpu and one into your integrated graphics, does it still stutter?

 

[jerfop12]

Might be a dumb question but is inegrated graphics my CPU , Mobo or what?

 

[shmoochie]

Plug one monitor into the back of the gpu, and one monitor into the back of the motherboard. You might have it already setup this way though.

Im going to try it now, theyre both in my GPU right now, vga & hdmi.

I did it,

So basically i have 2 monitors one HDMI and one VGA.
My VGA runs a through a converter piece so it fits in my GPU.
I put the converter off so i could place it into my MOBO, i did it and it showed ''No video input found''

I cant do this with my HDMI monitor since that only has one of these things and it needs to be in my monitor

Some computers disable the integrated graphics when a discrete gpu is installed. There should be a setting in your bios to turn it back on. It's sometimes called iGPU or IGP.
