Hello Guys,
Specs
CPU: Ryzen 3700x
MOBO: TUF B450-Plus Gaming Rev X.0x
RAM: 2x16/2x8 TUF Team Delta T-Force
GPU: GTX 1080 FTW Hybrid
PSU: BQT P7-PRO 550W
ADATA SX8200PNP - 480gb M.2
KINGSTON SA400S37 - 240G 240GB SSD
Screens
1x 75hz Asus - Primary gaming screen
1x 60hz Benq - Secondary, mostly for movies
I have the following issue.
When watching a movie in full screen on the Seconday Display, any game on the Primary will lag like hell.
I don't even play demanding games, I recently was just playing some Wotlk(private server) and Dota2.
What I noticed is that if I open a file explorer window and place it over the view on the secondary display, the game will work OK.
So basically, every time the Video is in the foreground, the Primary display will lag.
This however is not an issue if I keep the Video as Windowed, as keeping the video windowed will not cause any game to lag.
In this screenshot you can see 69 FPS, but that is only what the GPU is drawing, in reality it feels like 15 FPS

IF I put ANY window in front of the video, the game on the right screen WILL work OK.

I've tried recording and showing you the output, but the second I turn a recording soft on, the game no longer lags, because its drawing on top of VLC.
I tried messing with VLC's output, and OpenGL seems to do the trick, but then subtitles no longer work, and there are a whole bunch of other issues.
Please help.
EDIT: I noticed that turning off GSync in my PRimary monitor's settings will cancel this issue.
What I don't understand is why this has only became a problem now. I have a fresh isntall of windows 11, and I had no updates recently.
Is there any other solution than turing GSYNC off on the monitor?
