FPS appears reduced during second monitor usage
While streaming platforms like Twitch or YouTube, or sharing screens from Discord on another monitor, your games on your main screen seem slow. The frame rate stays the same, but it feels like your monitor is running at 60Hz instead of its true refresh rate. You're using a 3070Ti with an i9-11900K and 32GB DDR4 RAM, and hardware acceleration is disabled in your browser. Try adjusting settings or checking for driver updates to see if that helps.
Verified the real refresh rate on your display using its OSD or Windows controls. Also, confirmed whether Vsync, Freesync, or Gsync is active—possibly they’re set to the lowest possible rate across all monitors, causing lag. Regarding perception, distinguishing between 60Hz and 144Hz with the naked eye is challenging; human vision typically detects around 24Hz.
