Low fps in ARK with GTX 1060 6GB; caused by monitor?

[Lyzone]

Hi. I consider myself a PC geek, as in, I can probably troubleshoot a PC problem if you have it. Recently, I came back to ARK, after getting my 2nd monitor, and I get 10 fps whenever I launch into a server. I know this is because of my display, but I don't know why the display is doing it. The monitor I'm launching it on is connected to the GPU, and not the motherboard(which uses integrated graphics, rather than the gpu). Before this, I got 60 fps on medium settings. Now I get 10.
Specifications:
GTX 1060 6GB
Asus Z170-A
i5-6600K
16GB 2666 RAM
2TB HDD
120GB SSD
I've also gone into my BIOS and enabled multi-monitor gpu support, but when I view both of my monitors settings, the gpu is only being used for one of them. Yes, my drivers are updated. My PC is 1 year old. If there's a possible fix, please reply. Also, I hate to say this, but
READ THE WHOLE THREAD. Nobody ever does it. Thanks

If this is only happening with your play Ark and no other game then you should probably post on their support board since better chance some one else has ran into the same issue and may have a fix for it.

Just opened up rust, highest settings, 1920x1080, 80+ fps... Definitely only with ARK, but the problem is still there. Open to new answers
