To get this started, I'm playing in a csgo tournament on this most upcoming sunday as of the date of this thread. My monitor is a standard Asus 1920×1080 144hz monitor with standard stuff. As of right now, its connected via hdmi 1.4 cable. 

 

My goal is to still use my main monitor (with its specs [that I care about] listed above) WHILE also sending a signal to a TV of a different resolution and refresh rate 2560×1440 @60 or 100 hz (cant remember off hand and I'm not home)

 

The big question- is there anyway to achieve this without compromising my monitors refresh rate AND not costing too much (I'm so broke I cant pay attention)

 

Would a  cheap passive splitter effect my main monitors function. If I went that round.

 

If I did go the route of the previous question. I would have to convert it all to dvi first (since I have a splitter somewhere and more cables for it than my hdmi stuff), so would it be able to support 144hz refresh rate without any negative visual *stuffs* that could effect gameplay.

 

To end. I know the obvious thing in peoples minds are "why dont you just use the other ports ok my graphics card". The simple answer is that it seems to lower my fps just enough for me to notice even when the monitors are the same and just mirrored and not extended.

 

If there is a fix for that so it could work I'm open to any and all ideas.

 

 

 

Sorry for my horrible writing I'm exhausted and have no sleep rn.

 

Thanks,

-yacovrex

Using multiple monitors from your GPU shouldn't affect your fps, and you can just mirror it I think, not sure if it's fps limited, if the splitter just mirrors the signal you have the same issue of trying to send a 144hz signal to the display.


If you can't mirror it because of refresh rates, then just open OBS and it'll show the video preview of the gameplay on the other window. Don't need to enable capture or anything, that shouldn't affect fps nor require any external splitter.

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

My fps with obs tanks even when not recording or streaming for some stupid reason. I'll try the pure mirroring from graphics card and will see what the deal is. The problem is less of the raw fps but the cards outputs refresh rate do to the stupid lowest common denominator when it comes to refresh rates and multiple monitors (of which all but one of mine are 60hz). Would sending a 144hz signal to a 60 hz TV matter? (Probably a dumb q but just curious)

OBS by itself should have no effect on fps just pulling the footage for the video preview.


Which version of OBS? You could also try the streamlabs OBS

Also with CS:GO on a 5820K aren't you at like 200+fps at all times anyways?

the issue is more that it wouldnt do that last i check when windows is in mirror mode it lower th hz of both screens to the same so your boned only dumb solution would be to try over clock your monitor to 144hz at a lower rez and that may work otherwise streaming to a second computer or obs would be the best option or the best solution would be a capture card

I tried stream labs and my obs is updated and yes, I get more than 200 but it's mainly not always an fps problem but almost like a weird chug that's makes aiming much less smooth and I always attributed that to the refresh rate difference but when I add a second monitor along the fps drops to 100 which cripples a semi pro player that is used to 200+

Should try reinstalling windows or something as a 2nd display should have no effect on fps.

Why do you need the 2nd display with the same video signal?

and no you probably can't overclock the TV.

I'm participating in a CS tournament and I cant stream it but my fiancee and parents and some friends want to watch but I cant stream it due to the afforementioned obs and fps/chug problems i am having so i figured all they have to see is my screen so i figured to split the cable instead of connecting straight to my graphics card. All my concerns were had to do with my main monitors performance with the cable split to a TV 

 

 

 

I did reinstall windows and the problem persisted so I figured I was shit out of luck

You can try it with NDI, or you can just stream the gameplay from the PC using your GPU so it doesn't affect fps much, just do it to something low like 720p 30fps 3K bit rate.

Even so would this cause ping lag especially since my entire team is going to be on this network.

 

Also is this more perform better than a capture card option?

Ok thanks. Do you think that there is a way to split 1 output into 2 while downgrading one refresh rate and maintaining the other one?

Probably just search for mirror output different refresh rates
