When my 2nd screen is turned off, my graphics get worse on my main screen. btc prize - martianhax - Feb 7, 2019
hello hf, i have a 144hz screen as a main gaming screen.
whenever i connect my other 60hz screen to have 2 screens at the same time, my main screen 144hz graphics get much better.. even my in-game fps get higher.
it's like using the whole graphic card when i use the other screen.
whenever i disconnect my other screen 60hz, the 144hz graphics gets sooo bad :/
any idea how can i fix this? i want full performance without connecting my second screen.
giving 50 bytes for whoever helps me

Is it the same if you boot up your pc with only the 144hz plugged in?

Posting whatever GPU you're using may help.

First check ”Windows Key + P” and select main screen or PC screen only, forgot exactly what it should say.
If that doesn’t work, go to the display settings and see if you need to change the resolution.
If resolution isn’t the issue then try go to ”Display Settings” > ”Advanced Display Settings” and click ”Display adapter properties”, then select your monitor.
Where it says ”Monitor setting”, you should be able to choose refresh rate. Change it to 144.

I'm confused, why do you not want 2 monitors?

maybe it's a cable problem? i got 2 cables on the 144 screen and 1 full hd cable on the 60hz screen.
Update: i tried to change the cables, and it's still the same.
my graphics get only better when i connect my other screen.
paying 2$ btc + all my credits for whoever solve this.
Problem solved:
my second monitor was using cpu as a main monitor processor.
