Help with Dual Monitors

Okay guys, I have looked for hours and hours and could not find anything about this topic maybe the Linus community will prevail. Here is my issue: I have dual monitors, I play League of legends on one and the other is for streams/youtube. However, every time I am in game full screen and I have a twitch stream open it makes my lag in my game. It doesn't drop my ffps it just lags in the game a bit. However, as soon as I close the youtube video or twitch video its back to normal. Now are you ready for the most bizarre thing ever. Say I do have the twitch or YouTube video open and I open another tab and switch back to my game its fine! Basically I just can't have the FLASH video on my second monitor but if it is in another tab it is fine...The only thing I could find is something about GPU acceleration. I tried both google chrome and firefox..Can someone please help me. And thanks in advance.

twitch streams atleast are quite demanding on the cpu(not sure about gpu) and ram, so if your specs are very low that could cause a issue, windows will lower the priority of things in the background so you moving to a different tab would give resources back to lol

 

this is my guess from observing twitch. and the gpu acceleration is easy to test, just right click the stream and find gpu acceleration in settings and turn it off :)

I have top of the line specs. Let me try the right click you just suggested I never knew about that.

have you tried running the game in window mode, i know that it sucks but it might help a bit, also i too suffer from the same issue in some games but in my case id have a movie running on the other screen..

wait wait wait let me get this straight... you have a 780ti and a 6 core socket 2011 processor and you're having trouble running league and watching a stream... You better not be cheating yo!

well try putting it in windowed because league has had glitches with fullscreen and borderless before. yes it sucks but it's league.
