I have a gtx 970 running my AOC 144 hz monitor and my onboard graphics running my other ViewSonic VG248 or something like that. When I play Star Wars Battlefront my frames are lowered if I have google chrome and a runescape bot running on my second monitor. ?!?!?
 


You are using system resources for these programs. They dont magically just work. That's why you have a lower frame rate.
 


Strange, it goes up to 75% when I go into my second monitor and when I go back into the game it drops down to 60%, must be because of hte prioritization - I should also change that.

Well, it's not dipping to 40 fps like it did before so I think we're good . It's an i7 4790k btw that's why I am so worried, it should be able to handle chrome with a game and it does.
 


If my cpu usage isn't maxed then my fps shouldn't be lowered..right?
