I had this problem. The issue was fixed by using the windows update assistant to upgrade to windows version 20h2
Fr? I've had this issue for ages and can't find a solution
please heart this its really frustrating as you only see old threads on google which have no solution, but this is the solution. all the fixes online are temporary fixes at best. works for amd as well as i experienced this issue on my rx580 before getting a 3070
@@zombii3459ye. I forgot to add that you also need to go into display settings -> graphics and turn on graphic scheduling or something I cant quite remember
Yes it seems to be fixed in the latest Windows update!
Im using a 240/60hz setup on Win 10 20h2 and i have the same issue while streaming (keeping obs+youtube chat on the secondary). Main monitor feels like 60hz at random times
Interesting issue, was able to replicate with my setup. Thanks for putting this out, appreciate it.
My issue is that when i ran a video on 4 leds by mirroring them then a video lags on 2 monitor while it is good at 2. how to resolv this issue?
I had this issue too in the past, but seems to be resolved for me now. Mirroring two 144 monitor to two 60hz monitors and the 144hz ones running smooth and no sync issues anymore on the ufo website. Games running smooth too.
How can I get one out of my PS5 add 120 Hz into a splitter that one goes to my 120 Hz monitor and the other outgo to my video capture at 60 Hz? But I don’t want my monitor to downgrade to the 60 Hz.
I have currently Windows 1909 and I don't have this issue, I can mantain 144 fps in my main Gigabyte G27Q monitor while playing twitch and youtube on my secondary LG E2242 60hz monitor, with a GTX 1070, with the 144hz monitor connected via Display Port and second monitor connected via DVI. Latest drivers might have fixed this?
Will it down grade the other monitor if you only have OBS open in the background?
Im in 2021 and still having this problem, been driving me nuts for a good week
Weird thing I lived happily before reinstalling windows, afterwards things went south
Thank you this is reallly good and is gonna save me i cant have stream labs open while i play fortnite or my 144 hz monitor drops to 60
Bro I am having the same issue but how if i dont have gpu. Am just using igpu
i sadly get this issue even on both monitors running at the same refresh rate. my fps will drop down to 80 or so when running testufo and a video in te 2nd screen
Hardware scientist my pc uses and i9900ks,rtx 2070 Super constant240 fps but when I play like it does not feel like 240 hz it’s so sluggish when I turn , my stream is smooth but my gameplay feels so dragged when I jump down on enemies can’t see them till like 1 second later
hi guys ive been having this issue too and the issue/fix is to get a diffrent broswer seems like google chrome is capping try with diffrnt browsers
I have 2 of the same monitor 60 but on my and software it’s saying vram speed clock it stays at 2000 no matter what
In your pc's graphics settings, change the hardware acceleration setting from what it is currently on. for me, i had to turn it off.
I'm getting a completely different issue. My secondary monitor is affected! 240hz is my main, 60hz is secondary. Game runs fine uncapped, but the secondary monitor lags/rubberbands whether it is OBS, videos, dragging windows around. If I cap main monitor to 60hz the secondary is fine.
Think you just have to disable hardware acceleration in chrome to fix this temporarily and I also realized that any monitor that is not set as the main monitor in windows display settings is always gonna have choppy frame times, even on the Windows desktop UI. All my drivers are fresh and up to date so there's nothing I can do.
interesting.. would Wallpaper Engine have the same effect? say nothing done on monitor 2 (60hz) but wallpaper engine active in the background - would it pull the monitor 1 (144hz) fps down to 60?
some wallpapers dont work some do its really weird. but the perma fix is using the windows upgrade assistant to update windows to version 20h2. worked for me
@@henryb5947 how do I check if I have this current version already installed?
Hi Scientist ,
Nice Video.
My AOC 27G2 monitors(set 1920X1080 @ 59Hz) are flickering when connected to Dell XPS 7390 2 in 1 (set 1920x1080 59Hz ) with Intel IRIS Graphics card but active resolution signal is set as 1920x1200.
Could you please suggest any troubleshoot steps to fix this?
Regards
Raj
flickering as in brightness flickering or are you seing artefacts?
I had this issue with a 1080ti, switched to vega 56 (64 vbios) and didn't have the issue.
So both my monitors are 144hz. One of them is running good at 144hz BUT the other monitor only caps at 60hz, is there anyway I can make it run at 144hz? Could it be a different cable that can change or fix it?
you need display port cables for both. also go into windows display settings (advanced settings, select 144 for each) THEN go into nvidia control panel and select 144 for each again..
i just replied to your reddit post, but ill also reply here. i fixed this same issue by taking my 60hz monitor and plugging it into the onboard graphics card. then going into the bios of my motherboard and turning on integrated graphics processor. this way my MSI GTX 1070 Ti would only see one monitor attached to it, but windows 10 would still see two monitor. This issue went away once i did that.
Pharaoh Maximus when you say onboard graphics card do you mean you plugged the hdmi into your motherboard?
@@zachlevitz the onboard graphics is the one where the hdmi/displayport is directly on the Input and Output section of the motherboard itself and not on a pci express add on card like a graphics card or a capture card. so yes the on on the motherboard but obviously you need a cpu with integrated graphics first just google if your cpu has one.
Nice advice! But how to resolve problem if you have amd setup?
2700x
X470 crosshair
1080ti
Rog swift pg258q gsync
And second monitor is aoc 60hz freesync
Tnx in advance! 😉
TheMortiferaMorsus i have exact the same
Pharaoh Maximus I’m going to give that a try, thanks. I’ve had a hard enough time getting my 165hz monitor to even work with my 60hz monitor and thought it’s working the 165hz monitor is running at a fantastic 24hz!
Can confirm I am having this issue with an AMD 5700 XT and a Nvdia GTX 1060. So it seems to affect both GPU manufacturers.
Do you have both on
@@u-k no I swapped between them. The issue seems to be fixed now though.
@@BraidenRobson oh k
I heard that having the 2nd monitor at 1/2 the refresh rate as the main one will fix this issue. IDK if this is confirmed, but if your monitor does 75Hz, downclocking it to 72Hz should fix the problem if that is true. If it is a max of 60Hz, try running the primary at 120Hz, it shouldn't be too noticeable of a difference from 144.
I have a lg 75hz monitor and now I am saving for a lg 144hz monitor is it ok to set them as dual monitor
@@ZesteriaX this bug was fixed in either the 20H2 or 21H2 update of Windows 10 (I forget which) and is apparently no longer an issue. I can't really test it as all my monitors are 144Hz, but you should be fine if you're in the latest revision of win10 or are on win11.
@@SyphistPrime oh thank god I was scared for a moment
@@SyphistPrime it isnt fixed ...
@@SyphistPrime It's not fixed.
so is having 2 monitors with a 144hz refresh rate a sure fire solution for solving this? looking for clarity before i purchase a second monitor
absolutely yes! for the love of god dude i dropped 500 bucks on a predator monitor but my other one is 4k 60hz and it's fucking everything lmao
Yes definitely.
@@gunnermullins4599 any fix?
JaredTKL95 no but I’ve narrowed my issue down to a hardware issue I think. The monitors aren’t the issue in my case.
if putting both monitors on gpu does not work this fix works for me, to do it just put your main monitor on the resolution of 1920x1080 but do not use the native res, scroll down in the resolutions to find it.
was this in Nvidia control panel or windows settings?
@@GavinCMD nvidea control
I have a 60hz laptop and an extended 144hz monitor. After setting my extended monitor to 144hz in nvidia control panel.
I set my extended 144hz monitor as my "main display" in windows display settings. Hopefully, it works for ya'll.
not an issue on vega 56 apperantly
My new rx5700xt has the same issiue
how do i fix this problem? i have a 75hz monitor and a 240hz monitor?
did you fix it??
@@mystic-edits9646 nope
FilthyG is it really bothersome? Like does it actually have a bad effect on your 240hz monitor?
@@olivergerlach2310 did u ever fix it because im having that problem rn
what thats it your solution is to just get a better moniotr??
I found running the 60fps twitch/youtube video in fullscreen (f11) allows me to keep max refresh rate on my main gaming monitor in game while using borderless fullscreen mode.
OMFG I LOVE YOU WILL YOU MARRY ME AND HAVE MY BABIES EVEN THOUGH WE'RE BOTH MEN AND PREGNANCY IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A MAN UNLESS SOME I INVEST A SUPER HEAVY BANK LOAD OF CASH INTO A PROFESSIONAL TRANSITION THAT ALLOWS ME TO HAVE KIDS.

Who would've thought, out of all of the reddit posts, and forum posts, and youtube videos, tutorials and guides, (none of which worked), i would have gotten my answer, and my fix, from a knight in shining armor, from some random guy called Kazuk in the comments of a video.
I love you.
You should do like a 1minute video on your channel showing this off. wow.
omg this worked thank you. Finally haha I'd almost given up
I also found using Firefox made a huge difference
@@ConnorAPX no need to be so romantic..u can not monitor SLOBS in 60 hz monitor and play games in 144hz monitor..cz game will run at 60hz.it doesnt work in full screen or in windowed mode...so if u want to stream stutterlessly and in full refresh rate, u will need 2 144hz monitor.
@@AbdurRahman-vj6hq no you won't. OBS doesnt have this issue big dumb dumb
I onLy had this issue with a 60hz and a 144 but supposedly it was a windows issue. As soon as I make it 120hz it went away
if i have a 144hz as my main and a 75hz as a second, will i have issues?
Mystic - Edits tbh I don’t know. I’m planing on getting a 4K monitor soon and I hope I don’t have this issue
I have the same issue but with a 144hz and 240hz setup. I like to play games like COD and Battlefield on the 144hz monitor due to the higher resolution but games like CSGO or Rocket league are awesome on the 240hz monitor. However if I'm playing on the 240hz monitor and I watch a video on the on the 144hz, I get 60hz on both. Really sucks that this is an issue.
Have you disabled Google Chrome's hardware acceleration? Just wondering.
One of the other comments said to update to windows v2004
Do you see a big difference between 144 and 240 Hz ? I wonder for my next screen purchase. Thanks.
@@Math1eu- its not super noticeable when you go up to 240hz from 144hz BUT when you go back down to 144hz from 240hz it feels like going back to 60hz lol. It's definitely worth it if you can afford it!
I know it’s been 5 months, this vide was very helpful btw, but just hoping to find out if you’ve confirmed the fact that this issue does only happen to NVIDIA graphics cards, because I have an RX 580 and I’m planning on buying a 144hz monitor, I don’t know if I should use my old monitor as a dual monitor set up or just using the 144hz, if this issue doesn’t happen with AMD graphics card then obviously I would run dual monitor, ty and reply whenever you please
I haven't tested it myself on AMD cards, but I've never heard of anyone with an AMD card having this issue.
Already had the same problem on AMD GPUs ...
I actually thought you were squishy for a second lmao
what about amd
Apparently this is fixed with windows 10 2004 update.
I hope this is true
windows 10 was out in 2004?
No haha, the update version is 2004. I recently updated a few days ago and can confirm it is now working properly
@@obama1944 so updating to ver. 2004, you can use 144hz and 60hz together without changing anything now?
not for me
edit: ufo test 144hz 144fps with twitch on the other monitor... But still framedrops on games
Can anyone help me with this issue? i have a 75hz monitor connected with hdmi. my problem is that i cant play games 900p or 720p cause my refresh rate will be 59 or 50 and i dont know why its not 75hz. pls i really dont know how to fix
Could be a few issues: faulty hdmi cable, windows not picking up 75hz for your chosen resolution, graphics driver problems etc.
Best thing to do make a post on r/monitors with full details of your issue + details of your display setup. The people over there will help you out.
You need to connect it with a display port, not an hdmi. Hdmi supports only 60hz and lower
RizenAtlantis_GR that’s not true
@@topo3690 not all hdmi cables support 75hz
RizenAtlantis_GR unless u have an hdmi Cable from like 2008 u should be fine
Had this problem forever and finally just figured out how to solve it. Go to your windows display settings and select your higher HZ monitor. Check the box that says "Make this my main display". Now they should be running at their respective full speeds!

@@octops642 yoo it worked thanks bro
i have the same issue But with AMD
Same thing with RAM
I have this same monitor
MAKE SURE BOTH MONITORS ARE SET TO GPU OR DISPLAY
Does this works?
@@gigaHzkdn i think setting them to the same thing fixed for me :D
i have a 144 hz monitor and a 60hz monitor and the test says my 60hz monitor runs at 144hz. so the exact opposite lol
I was able to fix this with two different refresh rate monitors by going into Nvidia control panel> Adjust desktop size and position> scaling> perform scaling on: set both monitors to GPU
Thomas Ames I did that and it didn’t work for me
i love u so much
@@rundan8620 if putting both monitors on gpu does not work this fix works for me, to do it just put your main monitor on the resolusion of 1920x1080 but do not use the native res, scroll down in resolutions to find it.
Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need! Thank you!
@@Berit92 thank you so much
Oh and this was 4 years ago... still not fixed. How lame of nVidia!
You find a way to fix this shit :(
The problem is the browser. I tried opening the same two pages with two seperate browsers and it's fine.
You have to go into nvidia control panel and under display click adjust desktop size and position. Click on your second monitor and where it says perform scaling on change it to gpu and it will fix it
@LieutKeppage replying to myself to save for use later. thanks bruhv

does this really work? My main display is 240hz and i want to film edit on 4k UHD 60hz but scared my main display will be capped
@@sportindaveyg doesnt work for me
@@donkeykong6626 so my new monitor came in. I noticed with Windows update 2004 theyve really improved. My 4K monitor i cannot run anything in fullscreen or it will cap me But if I leave everything large and windowed I stay around 230hz or 240hz
issue solved below. plug 60hz into mobo and 144hz into GPU. Applies to systems with discrete and mobo graphics only. If you have a laptop with max-q then you might be out of luck unless you buy a docking station that can handle it.
Kerry Smith if i do that, isnt it gonna overheat my cpu?
im currently doing that . but when i open a game it opens in my 60hz monitor that plugged on my mobo. and even if i drag it to my 144hz that is plugged on my gpu it's still 30fps like it's not detecting the GPU. any fix? pls i've been googling everyday for this haven't found any solutions yet
Just disable hardware acceleration in ur browser? Done, issue solved. You don't have to get same refresh rate monitors.

@Braxton Conley i dont have onboard graphics though, i have a 9700kf
@@IQuickscopeCA what you should do is get a console lmao
@@redclaw72666 I hate consoles. I've already fixed the issue, but the console would only run at 60 anyway and I wouldn't be able to do other things while playing. The games I play aren't even on console
