Issues with delayed second screen and visual distortions after launching any game on my main display.
When I start any game on my main screen, the second display turns almost impossible to use, showing green lines and becoming extremely slow until I reboot my computer. I've tested multiple monitors, different GPUs, and various Radeon driver updates without success. My setup includes a Ryzen 5 5600X, 8 GB RAM, Kingston HyperX Predator 3200 MHz, two GPUs (Radeon RX 6600XT and RX 5600XT), a 980 GB SSD, a 2 TB HDD, and an MSI MAG A650BN power supply. The primary monitor is an AOC 24" 144 Hz 1080p model connected via DP, while the secondary is a Dell 22" 60 Hz 1080p via HDMI. I also tried an HP 24" 60 Hz 1080p monitor connected to HDMI as a backup, thinking the Dell was failing. I shared a YouTube description for reference: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xPDXznUnxt0
I have tested two distinct monitors using different cables. The Dell model was checked with a DP cable while the HP model used an HDMI cable. I also explored every available port on the GPU, but no solution appeared. Initially, I had a 6600xt in the system but later replaced it with a friend’s spare 5600xt, believing the GPU was the issue. I have experimented with two driver versions (22.11.2 and 22.9.2) on both GPUs, while keeping the case clean and ensuring Windows 10 is up to date.
You experimented with various monitors but didn't specify cables, which is interesting. It's reasonable to assume many people use the same cable you did. That's understandable, but it didn't work out. When updating graphics drivers, did you utilize DDU?
Yes, I've utilized AMD's CleanUp utility to remove the drivers.
