Setup with dual screens. Secondary display lags when playing videos. Need assistance!
You're using two monitors, but when playing games on the primary one, the secondary monitor freezes while streaming services load. It looks like your GPU is focusing all its power on the main game. Both displays are connected via DP and HDMI to a 3070TI graphics card. Try adjusting settings or checking for updates.
You might need to turn off hardware acceleration in the web browser you're using for videos on the second screen. This can cause some video players to lose functionality or stop playing entirely, though the streaming provider has the final say. Additionally, certain players may not show stuttering at all, while others could become completely broken. Twitch's interface is one such example that often crashes when I attempt to watch it on a second display in a browser with hardware acceleration active during gaming on my main screen.
