Hi All,
Ever since upgrading my system to the specs below, my dual monitor (2x Asus VG248QE) setup has been slow. Like REALLY slow. Feels like I'm getting 4 FPS in windows explorer (if that's even a thing). It has given me the Windows Aero error a couple times, but has not done it for a while. I have been racking my brain on why it is doing this because I know my system is more than capable of running this setup. I've clean installed a couple times with no results. I had no problems with my old FX-6200 and GTX 660 SC. I just received the 970 today because I thought the 660 was the issue. Sadly it doesn't appear to be... Only thing I haven't done is update the bios, but I was told that if it isn't broke then don't do it. Maybe it is worth giving it a shot now. No overclocks on the CPU yet either. Just the XMP profiles on the RAM.
The specs are:
CPU: i5 6600K
MBO: Asus MAXIMUS VIII GENE Z170
RAM: 16 GB G. Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 2400
GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SC
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 240 GB
HDD: 2 basic drives
Case: Silverstone FT-03
PSU: EVGA Supernova 750 G2
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
Any help y'all can provide would be amazing. I have 4 years of computer experience so give it to me straight please. First impressions of this system are pure disgust because its not performing as it should with the second monitor. Bit disappointed, but I know the problem is something minor. I'm just not seeing it. Has been running fine with one monitor on games and coding for work, but I want me second one back!
Thanks!
