Whenever I try to play games in fullscreen windowed with a video running on 2nd monitor(especially in browser) I feel massive (FPS) lag in-game even though my in-game fps is ~150-200+. Once I use fullscreen mode there isn't any lag.
I recently got a 2nd monitor(Happened even when using 1monitor) and the problem has become much more of a nuisance since I intended to use it to watch stuff while gaming and I hate having to minimize. There is some lag when I play video files on my computer, but not when playing music(Spotify mostly). All this while my fps is still shown as in the ~150-200+ range. I have tried using my integrated graphics(Intel HD4600) for my 2nd monitor instead of my GPU and it made no difference.
If anyone knows what causes this and a fix I will love you.
The rig:
CPU: i5-4670
GPU: Gtx 970
RAM: 16gb
Windows 7
Happens with both firefox & chrome haven't tested other browsers assume the same.
Games are on my SSD.
