You're observing that your graphics card's performance improves when you remove certain monitors from your setup. This suggests a way to optimize GPU usage by managing video output. If you're using an AMD card, consider adjusting your display settings or using software tools to control which monitors send video data. Disconnecting the unused monitors physically helps prevent unnecessary processing, but you can also fine-tune your system to avoid sending video information to them even when they're off.

I own a random GPy file (gt710) and only rely on converters to link my cables.

I only rely on a second, budget GPU for handling the screens where FPS isn't critical, such as YouTube. My primary GPU manages the main monitor for gaming without dropping frames.

What GPU is available? The VRAM usage won't affect monitors that are not active.
