"Low" FPS in csgo when TV connected as second monitor.

[L_iwnl]

Here's my issue:

I play csgo on a 144hz monitor, it's connected to my gpu (RTX 2070) with a display cable. I get around 200-350 fps.

I tried connecting a 24 inch tv with hdmi to my computer to use as second monitor while streaming.

And for some reason when I have the tv connected, my fps in game seems low. When when I say that it "seems low" it's because it still says I have the same fps i always do, but it looks like 40 fps.

please help.

fps cap?

Welcome to the wonderful world of "Nvidia drivers sometimes can't handle two monitors."

 

I have an Aorus 144Hz display and some cheap crappy 60Hz secondary. If anything is operating at 60Hz on the secondary (youtube vid, webpage animations, etc) the primary refresh rate is cut to below 60Hz. The game performance is fine, reading the same fps on the in game counter, but the monitor is totally messed up.

 

I've never heard a satisfactory explanation for why this happens, just that "sometimes it not work right" and I've never seen a fix for it either

 

Apparently it happens a lot less on AMD hardware for what it's worth.

Do you think it would do the same if i bought a 240hz as my main and use my 144hz one as secondary? Or if I buy an actual 60hz monitor instead of the tv

I believe it works a lot better with two high refresh rate monitors but personally I recommend two 144Hz instead of a 240Hz, possibly a 1440p 144Hz because the experience on that has been quite excellent in my opinion.
