RX 7800XT frames dripping when if i am watching any kind of videos on my 2nd monitor

[DND]

Hello, I've just recently upgraded from my GTX 1080 to an RX 7800XT so far the performance is good but I've noticed that when I have any videos playing on my 2nd monitor my frame tanks on the game I'm playing or I experience s stuttering. For example, if I have a twitch livestream running on my 2nd monitor and I'm on that tab my frame dips from 160ish to 80-90ish but if go to another tab that is just static or doesn't have any videos playing it goes back up again.

I have the latest drivers installed for my GPU and the latest bios update on my motherboard. Haven't done any tweaking on my gpu its all on stock. My cpu is a 5600X with curve optimizer set to -25 which is running pretty stable. For my monitors im using a PG248Q and VC239H. My full specs is in my signature if needed.

Did you run DDU to remove the GeForce drivers?

Yes i did run ddu to remove the GeForce drivers.

I was told AMD and multimonitor do not work well when I was looking for a GPU.

My 6950XT still has issues playing back 1440p/4k videos without stuttering on my multi-monitor setup. And this has been a well-known,documented bug that supposedly got "fixed" in October of last year yet it hasn't been. DX11 video rendering is bugged in Firefox AND Chromium based browsers (reproducable in Linux as well)  in certain sircumstances. However some people don't have the issue and that's the reason why it's low priority for the driver team. I think having multiple high refreshrate monitors ( I have 240hz,165hz,120hz and 120hz 4 monitor setup all monitors having different resolutions) is just a recipe for disaster but I've also heard people with NVIDIA GPUs having issues with black screens and driver time outs on such setups so I don't know what the solution is.

I think thats what it is too. He also mentioned a high power consumption of the GPU when MM is in use. I just use 1 big TV, so I would have been ok either way. I bought mine during a big prime sale in the summer, it was cheaper than black friday, and hundreds cheaper than anything from anyone else at the time.. couldnt pass it up. If they made a Ti Super I still couldnt really get mad.

So this has been an issue way back? Regarding multiple high refresh rate monitors, I am only running my PG248Q as the main/gaming monitor at 160hz and my 2nd one is only 60hz. By any chance do you know any band-aid methods that can minimize the fps dips?

Have you tried locking both monitors to 60Hz?

I haven't but will do, tho the game that I am currently playing right now is very fps dependent.

I am sorry man

 

I am living in the past at 60Hz

No worries, update on the dropping my main monitors to 60hz on the main game which is black desert there weren't noticeable drops in frames but i tried on genshin which is always capped at 60fps i was getting significant stuttering.

Update:

I think I have found a band-aid solution to the problem. It seems that the cause of the fps drop stutter is my monitor's varying refresh rates which are 60hz & 160hz.

The solution was the suggestion that I found while googling around for a fix was a comment in a superuser forums post. The suggestion was to make the refresh rate of the higher hz monitor double that of the lower one. So in my case, my 2nd display is 60hz I just dropped down my 160hz to 120hz and the issues are gone based on my testing. Will update if the issue is completely gone or if it resurfaces.

Are you on Windows 11 by any chance? I have two rigs, one with a 3080 Ti and another with a 1060, I noticed the problem on both when I upgraded to Windows 11.

 

The solution for me was to disable hardware accelerated GPU scheduling, now it's silky smooth and never noticed any performance issues https://www.makeuseof.com/hardware-accelerated-gpu-scheduling-disable-windows/

Got some artifacts and like flashes on the second monitor when YouTube is playing and on the main is StarCitizen but I guessed its more a thing of the game.

Its like in Warframe here. Works well with 120Hz on the main monitor while the seconds run on 60Hz. Everything above 120Hz on the main (supporting up to 165) brings deep dipps in the FPS.

So far the main game that I am playing black desert online, I haven't noticed any artifacting. I did some fiddling around on my monitors' refresh rate, and I've found that overclocking my 2nd display from 60hz to 74hz also works. Now instead of locking my main display to 120hz, I have bumped it up to 144hz and so far there are no issues.

Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration in your browser?

Yes I did but the frames still keeps dropping when i have my main display on 160hz or higher. Also noticed that it also just don't happen if i have my browser playing anything. I also noticed that if i open my OBS software frames also dip.
