Posted November 20, 2016 So lets say i have 3 monitors, and i have a game opened on one of them, and on the other two, i have Opened chrome or video on youtube on them. Would that slow the game down? (less fps) I have gtx 1060 strix and i5 4690K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 20, 2016 Yes, but usually not by much. It doesn't take much power to run YouTube or anything else on Chrome, so the game will still be very playable.

Fierce Bloody Angel The blood is on your hands Why did you come to this world? Everybody turns to dust. Everybody turns to dust. The blood is on your hands. The blood is on your hands! Pyo.

Posted November 20, 2016 not much, it would mostly be because other stuff is happaning so about as much as if you just had all that running on one monitor I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays... nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

(Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0) Spoiler "Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. #1. Treat others as you would like to be treated. #2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt. #3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place. Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier.

If the other monitors aren't doing anything it won't really be affected much maybe a couple of FPS at most, being within probability of error, but if there is other stuff that is running then that can vary.

If you have two YouTube videos open on the two, you may notice the CPU working harder but the GPU will likely be unaffected as far as gaming goes.

I will also add that full screen video cause a more pronounced difference in performance than just a small embedded video. It's not always necessarily the game that suffers, but the Youtube video more often. Go in knowing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
