Second Monitor Lag

Hey. My second monitor has enormous amounts of lag when connected. I use Windows 10, my second monitor is 1920x1080, while my original monitor where the DVD recorder is located is 1600x900. It lags on the 1080p monitor, while the default monitor works flawlessly.

How do I troubleshoot this?

 

Computer games lagging badly

Your computer’s sudden lag and performance issues can be frustrating, but let’s troubleshoot and find a solution. Here are some steps you can take to address the problem:

1. Check Network Stability:
   
   • Ensure your internet connection is stable. Fluctuating ping and sudden spikes could be due to network issues.
     
   • Try connecting to a different network or restarting your router.
     
2. Update Graphics Drivers:
   
   • Outdated or corrupted graphics drivers can cause lag in games.
     
   • Visit your graphics card manufacturer’s website and download the latest drivers.
     
3. Monitor Background Processes:
   
   • Check for resource-intensive background processes.
     
   • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager and identify any programs consuming excessive CPU or memory.
     
4. Adjust Game Settings:
   
   • Lower in-game graphics settings to reduce strain on your system.
     
   • Disable unnecessary features like shadows, reflections, or anti-aliasing.
     
5. Check for Malware:
   
   • Run a thorough malware scan using reliable antivirus software.
     
   • Malware can significantly impact system performance.
     
6. Clear Temporary Files:
   
   • Use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool to remove temporary files and free up disk space.
     
7. Monitor System Temperature:
   
   • Overheating can cause performance issues.
     
   • Ensure your PC is adequately cooled and clean any dust from fans and vents.
     
8. Consider Hardware Upgrades:
   
   • If your PC is aging, upgrading RAM or switching to an SSD can improve performance.
     

Remember to apply these steps one by one and test your system after each change. Hopefully, this will help resolve your lagging issue.

 

Lag on second monitor usually in videos when playing games on fullscreen on first monitor

Hi,

I just upgraded from a much worse computer (using windows 10) to a better one (using windows 11). My problem is however after upgrading that I start lagging alot on my second monitor when playing games on my main monitor in fullscreen mode. It is quite bad and mainly happens if I watch youtube videos and such on the second monitor. It does not matter what game Im playing.

Specs:
GeForce RTX 4070

2 TB NVME

32GB DDR5-6000

Intel® Core™ i5-13400f

I hope someone can help, thanks!
