I recently started re-using an old monitor as a second monitor for watching videos or monitoring performance while playing games on the main monitor but when the old monitor is connected games I run in fullscreen will drop to an un-playable framerate I first thought it was the game I was playing but it did this with any game I played, FPS is absolutely fine when playing in windowed of borderless window.
Does anyone know what may be causing this?!
Specs:
Main monitor: BenQ XL2420G
Second monitor: Dell monitor at 1024p 75Hz
CPU - i5-3570K Turbo boosted @ 3.9GHz with stock cooler
GPU - GeForce GTX 980
PSU - Antec TP classic 650W
HDD(s) - WD blue 250Gb and a 1T
RAM - Corsiar vengeance 16GBs @ 1600MHz
OS - Windows 10
EDIT: "I'm a moron and it turns out it was most likely because the cable was in loose somehow even though it was screwed in on both ends, works fine now."
