2 monitors + different refresh rates = problems

[Lee Enfield]

So I have a 1080p 27" monitor at 144 hz and another with the same specs but 60 hz. When I run my primary display at 144 hz i get weird artifacts when highlighting things on my desktop. Changing it to 60 fixes it. But 60 hz on the desktop doesnt looks smooth at all, is there any way to run at different hz without this crap?

Make sure that drivers are upto date and also see if you have set the refresh rate in correct state from Monitor's Configuration via Hardware Buttons on Monitor.

Ah the old update your drivers mantra. Yeah I'm a little smarter then that. Everything is up to date, and neither one of my monitors have refresh rate settings via the hardware.

Which operating system you're using now?

Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. All updates installed.
