@Peskanova Thx for your awesome Input ! Did you try the "nvidia Inspector" way? If yes, did it work ?

@Labeled Weird, i only know "+fps_max unlimited" as a Startparameter set in the Origin Launcher. Anyway, my FPS are uncapped if i want to But this Thread should not be about Apex, its about this annoying Dual Monitor "Bug"

I think i always have/had it set on GPU scaling, but will look it up later.

One thing to test to fix the Microstutters is your "Standby List" Just google for "Intelligent Standby List Cleaner" and u should find several threads + download for the Program. Windows 10 has some issues (not for all Users) that the Standby List does not get properly cleared and therefore your RAM might running full (which leads to Microstutters cause of File/RAM swapping). I have the same Issue in Apex Legends and this helped me to mostly resolve any Microstutters. Your General low FPS is a different Story, in my eyes you should definetly should have higher FPS. As Aaradorn stated, try use MSI Afterburner and see if your GPU is not able to get a stable high clock..

@Labeled What you say is True, but in my eyes it makes no difference to the fact, that the Applikations run at 60Hz (even if the Monitor itself is still running 144Hz). It is lowered to 60Hz (or whatever your second screen is running) via vsync and therefore you have no benefits of a 144Hz Monitor (my opinion). To the Apex issue: I already use the fps_max 0 but makes no difference (Apex is limited from me via RTSS to 141FPS). Right now it looks like i got the Windows 10 "Standby List" Issue, so that my RAM gets completely full (could fix that with the "Intelligent Standby List Cleaner" Tool)

Hi Guys/Lads, I hope that i can provide some "serious" information for an long lasting Bug and help people to not be annoyed/sad after buying an 144Hz Monitor (while using a second 60Hz Monitor) (@Mods: to be honest, i posted this as a comment in an another thread, but since it has a different Title it might not get found by interested Users. Please delete my comment if necessary) 3 Days ago i realised i have an annoying "issue". Since Apex Legends is out and i noticed same weird FPS drops/issues, I tried to figure out what is wrong on my PC. (the Hz issues got nothing to do with my FPS drops ) While searching I came around of some reddit posts dedicated to this 144hz/60hz issues and instant tried finding a solution for it. For me, NOTHING helped to have different Hz on my screens (PG278QR 144hz and VS248H 60hz). I feel like, this is something which needs to get WAY! more attention from Media/Users and in the End needs to be fixed by MS or nVidia asap! There are several Threads on every Computer related Board and reddit, but after Months/Years there is NO Solution at all. So here is what everybody can test! Open TestUfo Website (google it for link) on your 144hz and wait for it to be synced to your 144hz Monitor. After its synced, open another Browser instance on your 60hz Screen and open the same Website. You will instant notice, that your 144hz Screen will drop FPS and therefore is downed to 60hz. So whenever you will try watch Linus YT Videos on your 60hz screen and try gaming on your 144hz, it will automatically drop to 60hz. Another good test is, open a game on your 144hz in "exclusive" Fullscreen (its the only "real" Solution to stop this bug while gaming) while running some sort of FPS overlay (like MSI+RTSS or fraps), enable VSYNC in the (you must not play with vsync, its just for testing). You should get around 144 FPS if your PC is capable to do so. Now open testufo again on your 60hz Screen -> your Game should still do 144 FPS if you open it. Here is the clue, go from Fullscreen to Borderless Window or Windowed at all, and voila it drops to 60 FPS (mostly around 70 fps, cause the Monitor Sync Bug is not capable to properly drop your 144hz screen to 60hz) That means, if you are not able to fix this Problem by lowering to 120hz or are lucky with 2 Monitors with DP (might fix it...) you are not able to make GOOD use of your Dual Monitor Setup, cause u are not able to instant move to your Second Screen while gaming. You always have to Alt-Tab what means the Fullscreen Game gets minimized (for me this is really annoying!) + if you watch a Video on your 60hz and wanna read or do anything else on your 144hz screen (no Fullscreen application) it gets always lowered to 60hz. You might not notice it, but guess 75%+ of time your 144hz screen is lowered to 60hz. I hope this gets some more attention and maybe Linus or his Staff can research this Stuff cause its simply plain stupid that MS OR Nvidia wont fix this Bug/Feature! (Sorry for long Post and for "bad" english )
