one 144hz and one 60 hz monitor makes games stutter on win10

[leifus]

Hello, i have been experiencing alot of stutter lately when i am running dual monitors one 144 hz as my main and one 60hz as my secondary.

I am mostly gaming on the 144hz monitor and watch streams and videos on the 60hz one, but when i do those two things at the same time i i can see stutter on my main monitor even when i have over 300 fps in the a game like CS:GO.

Would be nice if someone could help me with this.

The problem goes 100% away when removing the 60hz monitor from the equation?

that is true, when i remove it i don't get the stutter, but i don't want to only have one monitor. It is also only when i watch something or something animated is on the screen like a youtube video or so

I have the same setup as you, 144hz on the left and 60hz on the right. I had this problem at one point, but don't have it anymore. If I recall, I think I disabled vsync and set gsync to work on windowed as well as fullscreen for the left monitor. Haven't experienced the problem since those changes, give them a try. I think the problem is that the system is vsyncing to one of the two monitor's rates for both monitors, not one rate for each monitor.

I did try your solution, but sadly it didn't work for me and i dont have G-sync eather.

Did some more tests over the weekend and it seems like Chrome i capping the hz a 60 when running a youtube video or a stream. Someone else that have noticed this with Chrome??

I had this problem with a game called Factorio - game capped the FPS at 60 even with vsync off, and when combined with G-sync, it caused severe stutter. Maybe its polling the other monitor for the FPS limit, somehow.

I fixed it when playing this game by turning off gsync. Monitor still runs at 144hz and framerate is still 60 for the game, but runs smoothly. Something about gsync, vsync, and hardcapped fps from a program is causing the problem.
