FPS Drops - When just about anything is open on 2nd monitor

[GhengasKhan]

Just recently it seems whenever I have anything open (youtube video/chrome just on any default page... sometimes even just discord) my fps in games dips heavily sometimes in half or 1/4th ... 

Mainly seems to happen on CS:GO more so. 

I've tried the "use hardware acceleration when available" toggle on and off trick and it doesn't seem to be helping much. 

 

 

I am running precision X1 ill attach a screenshot of those settings.

The second monitor consumes resources. So I suppose it would be normal for some FPS drops.

Using a GTX 1060 6GB and 3 monitors, where i game on the just the center one.
I can NOT measure this. The usage for example a Youtube video is so low, no game is bothered by it.

(As in the changes are marginal, 60fps instead of 61fps)

There must be something else afoot.

60 to 61 FPS difference??? 

 

What the heck are you trying to diagnose? Margin of error numbers??

No im just trying to disprove the FPS drops as you mention as those are NOT caused by having another monitor active.
I tought it was clear, im sorry if my comment got misunderstood.

no my fps drops are major... like 300 down to 150 etc... and i have always had 2-3 monitors and its been very minimal fps drops... Typically its like what @HanZie82 said... very small margins that arent very noticable but as of late its been bad..

Is your system running defaults? If not, maybe try that and test.

What do you mean by "defaults" like Default bios settings / no overclocks?

Correct.
