I have 2 monitors and I can't watch youtube videos on one monitor while playing a fullscreen game on the other.
Any fix?

GTX 1080
i7 7700k
16gb ddr4 ram
2 60hz 1080p monitors

This is what I usually do but I'm planning on upgrading one of my monitors to a g sync monitor which would mean I need to game on fullscreen mode so unfortunately this isn't a solution.

If you are using Multi-Monitor for gaming, you won't be able to watch Youtube Videos on Fullscreen at different displays, unless you open the ingame Browser just like Steam or Origin has, otherwise you'll can do just as I do.. I have a TV and a Monitor but my Main Screen is set to Monitor and is extended with my TV, any time I want to play a game I can select in which display I want the game to play on by either tweaking NVIDIA or Windows display settings by setting the main display screen. Basically you can run the game on one of your monitors and drag Chrome or any browser you are currently using to the other and watch youtube videos while playing, but bear in mind that.. you'll may experience a lil stutter in the process since you'll be rendering the game and the youtube video.

I do this but the video just freezes as soon as I load up my fullscreen game. Windows borderless fixes this but I won't be able to use that on a gsync monitor.
