Question / Help Double monitor setup. 144hz monitor feels like 60hz

[Emal Sari]

Hello.
Everytime i'm streaming my main monitor which is 144hz feels like a 60hz even though my pc can run 300fps when streaming. I tried capping the fps which didnt help at all. I've heard my 60hz monitor could mess with my 144hz monitor. Is that the problem here?

It's might not just feel like 60Hz, it could really be reduced to 60Hz.
When you have different monitor refresh rates and you open any program/window with GPU accelerated content (like youtube in web browser) on the lower refresh rate monitor, the fullscreen game on the 144Hz will drop to 60Hz.

Limit fps to 120 (if you want a smooth 60fps stream and play with higher fps than 60) and close windows/programs on the second monitor. You might also need to turn off Gsync/Freesync, but it depends (just test it).
