Question / Help Window Capture with two Graphic Cards

When running three Monitors with two Graphic Cards, i cannot capture Browser Windows through "Window Capture" (ie, ff, chrome). It occurs only with Browser Windows, f.e. Texteditor works fine.
It looks like this:

When using only one Graphic Card with two Monitors, everything works fine, too. Anybody has an idea?

im running windows 8.1
 
Yea, the reason why window capture can't work in that situation is because the image of what you're trying to capture exists on a different adapter.

I did make a workaround though: "Compatibility mode" in window capture is designed specifically to fix this problem. Try it out.
 
Hey, thanks for your answer.

Activating "Compatibility mode" doesnt solve the issue. The window im trying to capture is on the same monitor/graphic card as obs, i activated "Compatibility mode" and its still blank. As you can see, the adress bar does get captured.
 
Hm, interesting. I thought for sure that would work, I guess I was wrong. I'm not sure what to suggest then unfortunately.
 
i managed to solve it by deactivating "GPU-Compositing" in chrome in chrome://flags/. but since the last update of chrome one week ago this doesnt work anymore.
it has to be a problem with the second graphic card since its working fine when i plug off the third monitor connected to the second graphic card.
 
I'll check that with other users if I'm able to in the future. (You are awesome by the way)
