Windows 10: 144hz and 60hz Stuttering Issues

Hello everyone.So I have a Gigabyte 15 x9 laptop that has a i7-8750H and a RTX 2080, and I have always used 60hz monitors in the past so I have a couple spares. I went to plug in one of them to use as an extra extended monitor to watch stuff while I play games, so I would put stuff in it such as Google Chrome and Discord. The two monitors don't play nicely for some reason and when watching something, video games on my main 144hz laptop panel are stuttery and laggy as hell and it's super annoying, I unplug the monitor and things act normal and fine.I heard that setting the display to GPU scaling would fix this issue, so I tried that and I got this basically (not my video but describes what happens): Problem with monitor scaling with Nvidia gpu - YouTube

Then people in the comments say to unplug the monitor and try it again, but since it's a laptop, half of the nvidia settings go away and I no longer can access those settings and im left with this: https://i.imgur.com/TVgJLQn.png

I've tried setting things to not use hardware acceleration mode, and that kind of works but is an annoying workaround, and many other people on the internet say that there just isn't really a fix for this which I find this very hard to believe. Am I really forced to just buy a 144hz monitor myself?

144hz behaves like a 60hz when any of my other 60hz monitors are running GPU bound applications.

Hello there.

I noticed, after upgrading to Windows 10, that the handling of "windowed borderless" and such is much different in comparison to Windows 7. I believe the Desktop Composition is to blame, but that is well known problem (forced vsync etc.)

What I get is a bit more specific. When I use a GPU bound (game, hardware accelerated browser) application on my 60hz monitor, every single GPU bound application on my 144hz becomes 60hz.

FPS is still shown in the real numbers (certian apps/games 200+) but the actual refresh rate is 60hz. When one enables Vsync, it caps at 60, even though the refresh rate is setup in drivers and windows to be 144hz.

When the application is run standalone on the main monitor (144hz), there are no problems. But even Chrome, when the HW accel is not OFF, forces the 144hz to 60hz.

I'd just like Microsoft to look at the "non-average" PC user and make their OS optimized in every way possible. I have a high-end system and I can't enjoy my 144hz unless I use it exclusively. Considering it is current year I'd very much like to see some
love for more-than-one monitor setups and for people that don't have a Pentium from 2004.

My setup: GTX 1070; i7 6700k; DDR4 16GB.

 

High end build, stuttering in every game

Capping the frame rate to 60hz and playing it at 72hz with vsync enabled shoudl reduce the stuttering but there's some games having troubles with 144hz vsync actually, I'm still investigating if this is a problem of my hardware or a problem of the games.

 

Dual monitor setup locks 144Hz monitor at 60Hz


I've been running a multi-monitor setup for a while now, with an ASUS VG248QE 144Hz monitor as my main, and one or more spare monitors as secondary displays. I've set the ASUS monitor to 144Hz without issue in the past, while the other monitors stay at 60Hz.

The other night, Windows wanted to update. I figured it was the usual patch session, so I let it do its thing. However, after restarting my computer, I noticed that my ASUS monitor would only operate at 144Hz if it was the only monitor plugged into the system. When I try to set it higher in the Nvidia control panel, it just reverts back to 60Hz after applying changes. I updated my graphics drivers (though I was only one version behind) and even sought a special ASUS driver for the monitor to resolve the issue, but nothing has helped.

Did Windows recently add a forced refresh rate sync between all monitors recently? If so, that really sucks because I only own one 144Hz monitor.
