One display with g-sync + one without?

[shmoo]

Hey all,

I was wondering if anybody has used a dual display setup where one has g-sync and one doesn't? I always use dual monitors, however when I play games I only use one of them. Will I be able to have 2 displays plugged into my gpu, and run g-sync with a game on one of the displays while the other display is running w/out g-sync? I usually just have browser windows or text editors on the 2nd display.

Just tried it. Yes you can worked fine. I launched witcher 3 with g sync active on my main display, while i had chrome open on my other non gsync display. Worked fine, my monitor's power LED changes colors when gsync deactivates and it did not so i'm fairly sure gsync stayed on, game was perfectly smooth I didn't notice any negatives.

This was with a 1440p 144hz gsync display using display port. And a 1080p 60hz non gsync display using dvi-d. Witcher 3 was in fullscreen mode and I have gsync set up to work in windowed and fullscreen mode at the moment.
