Just as the title suggest, whilst in game on League Of Legends, although the fps counter displays well over 100+ fps, I can feel that this is certainly not the case, with the screen getting jittery, unless I close or minimize chrome/spotify or the other application open on my second monitor.
My GPU is a 1060 6gb, so should have no problem running a low demand game like League. So I was wondering if my i5 4590 would be struggling with the workload put on it?
My main monitor is a 144hz Acer XB240H, and my second monitor being an HP pavilion 23cw, which is only 60hz.
Could the problem stem from the differing refresh rates? Or is my cpu buckling under the load?
Thanks!

Pretty sure this has to do with the video card and not your CPU. I haven't used dual monitors in years but the same was true back in... what, 2007? when I was using an HD3850 on Windows Vista.
