Im new to the computer scene and brought a prebuilt PC. Im wanting to run duel monitors so i can game and steam. It seems like my GPU isnt powerful enough to run both my monitors. One monitor is a 27" Predator XB1(primary) with gsync and an accr xx203h(sec). I can run both monitors but when i go to start gaming my primary screen starts to jump frames. So i would love any advice anyone can offer. Thanks for the help. i will list my spec below. Also I already plan on buying a bigger power suppy for my system.

the other monitor will use around 0.1-1% of you gpu's power so you are fine with that gpu. but if you need more performance for games then you need to get another gpu.

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Wait for either big Navi or ampere and if the prices were too high for you / you didn't like what it offered you can get current gen gpus for cheaper
