Hi guys!

I have some problems with a dual monitor set up. My 144hz monitor is connected to my GPU via a DP cable and my 60hz monitor is also connected via the GPU via an HDMI cable. I've set up 144hz in windows and nvidia control panel.

While gaming, If I am in borderless mode, my fps is stuck at 120 and doesn't go above. I can also note a brief lag. If I disconnect my second monitor, all problems all solved and I get 180 fps with no lag at.

I'd like to add that if I run the game in full screen, I don't have that problem but borlerless used to work without any of those problems before I reformatted the PC.

What could it be? the second monitor clearly has an effect on my main display. I was considering buying a second 144hz if I can't fix this.

Thank you!!!
