Hello everyone,

as the title says i got huge framedrops while using a dual monitor setup. I'm using 2 60 Hz monitors (1xHDMI 1080p 1xDVI 1280x1020). I play WoW on my main monitor on borderless window mode, while watching streams on the other or just looking stuff up in the internet (chrome). Every now and then my Fps are dropping below 30 fps and staying there. I thought it might be the stream and turned it off but it didn't helped so i completely closed Chrome. When that didn't helped i turned of the second monitor but i got still 30 fps, as if it would lock on 1/2 VSync. I thought it had to be the second Monitor, but after turning it off i have no clue if thats the case. I think the 1060 should handle that. Are there any known issues with dual monitor setups?
Btw, I'm using Windows 10 and the lates nvidia driver. I should also mention, that the second monitors native resolution is 1440x900 but i can't change it to that via nvidia settings.
Thanks for your help in advance!

1| When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to pass on your full system's specs inclusive of your peripherals and monitors. We already know you're working off of Windows 10.

2| You may want to see if a repair install helps alleviate your issue.

3| Try and uninstall your GPU drivers using DDU and reinstall your GPU drivers with the latest or a previous known stable driver.
