Posted February 6, 2018 I want to connect it to the grapics card because I feel that I expeirnce less lag that way, my main monitor is connected via displayport but for some it doesen't find it when I connect my second monitor to the graphic card or is it just pseodu?

Posted February 6, 2018 Logically, connecting another monitor to your graphics card would add to your GPU load, therefore increasing lag by a little bit. That said, what connector are you using for the second monitor and do the cable and monitor definitely work?

I have my second monitor connected to that via hdmi and it works fine execpt that my main monitor smells allitlebit burnt, I was thinking that doesen't it take more since I have both my monitors connected to the same thing? I can be allitrle bit hypochondriac maybe it's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 6, 2018 I had this issue when I was first trying to do my multi-monitor setup. For whatever reason, it didn't like my main monitor being DisplayPort if I had other monitors plugged in. When I unplugged the other monitors, my main worked no problem through DP. Yet I plug all the other monitors back in, and then the main doesn't work, yet every other one works fine. I kept switching cables until it finally worked; I ended up needing my main to be DVI, and then one was VGA adapter, one was HDMI and one was DisplayPort. When I ended up changing monitors, I had my main still as DVI, with two HDMIs and a DP. I never really researched why this happens, but maybe you could use a different connection for your main?
