I really need some help everyone! I have two sweet setups that I just cant configure properly.

I have 3 Monitors total 2 for my gaming rig on the right with a EVGA 980Ti and on the left I have my streaming PC with an Avermedia C985 card inside. The two are connected via HDMI cable.

In windows 7 I had the avermedia card cloning my main desktop at 144hz. No problems. Yes some screen tearing on the capture card but it was at 144hz.

Now in Windows 10, same cloning situation, I set to 144hz to my main display being cloned, which sets the avermedia card to 144hz in nvidias control panel. However, it looks like its running at like 40hz lol, worse than if I set the refresh rate to 60hz. Is this a Driver issue? A windows issue? I hope this hasnt been an issue since 8 and I am hopeless without Win7.

So my question is, how are you guys streaming at 1280x720 at 60fps in 144hz across 2 pc's. I Can use extend display, but I have no idea how to view my Flightsimming/Game playing on my main display when its off on a third display.

Please please help, have held my viewers up for the entire weekend and am about ready to go back to 7 :(

It may be an Avermedia driver issue and incompatibility with Windows 8 and/or 10. I'd go to the support site for your capture card.

While you investigate, maybe try NVidia Shadowplay instead? I captured my desktop at 60FPS, 2560x1440 using a GTX680 and it worked almost perfectly.

(the text was sharp, colors great, but for a static black background of the NVidia Experience I saw a bit of compression artifacts though I can't see those in moving objects and it's been many months since I tested... also didn't try the same at 1080p and various compression settings either.)

But wouldn't that mean I would need to use streaming on the same pc, no capture card.

Means I would run gaming and streaming off same PC? I did the Dual-PC setup to save on processing power
