Hello everyone, I've been facing some unusual issues with my dual monitor configuration. Whenever I launch a game, the HDR settings switch between both displays, which is frustrating because the game appears correctly HDR, but the other monitor shows distorted colors, brightness, or gamma levels. No one seems to have experienced this before. Both monitors support HDR, and I have everything from the specs listed—CPU, RAM, GPU, storage, power supply, and peripherals. The issue seems to occur intermittently, happening about half the time. I’m not very familiar with HDR settings, so I’m unsure why this is happening. It might be related to how Windows applies HDR profiles across both screens, especially since they differ in color accuracy. If it were a consistent problem, I’d disable HDR entirely, but it only activates sporadically.

I’ve discovered a workaround that worked for me. First, open the NVIDIA control panel and set the 3D settings power management mode to maximum performance. Then, switch GSync mode to fullscreen only. After doing these steps, the glitching has stopped being noticeable.
