Massive FPS drop after using Dual Monitors.

[MCspyda]

Greetings community,

As the title describes, I have a problem with my rig. I am currently using GeForce GTX 560 connected to my main (gaming) monitor and a second monitor connected to my MOBO graphix. The main monitor is connected with DVI to DVI and the MOBO monitor is connected via HDMI to HDMI. The reason why I havent connected both the monitors on the GeForce GTX 560 is that the HDMI slot on the GPU is too small for the monitor HDMI cable. The only HDMI slot I can plug the monitor to is the one on the MOBO.

After explaining the setup I will continue with the problem itself. While Im gaming, I love to use my second monitor for browsing and watching streams and stuff. The problem is, when I connect the second monitor to the MOBO in order to use it, I receive massive FPS drop in games such as WoW, Wildstar and even LoL. It frustrates me, because Im playing all games on Lowest details, while I am sure my GPU can handle it. The moment i disconnect the second monitor from the MOBO, I have no FPS what so ever so the problem is pretty obvious to me.

Please, how can I resolve this massive pain in my ass. Thanks in advance!

Thats because the HDMI on the mobo is you integrated graphics they are likely conflicting with your Nvidia card. Get yourself a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter plug the second monitor in your GPU and you will be good to go.
