Where my Computer Bois at?

[DeathNote]

Hey, I just set up a second monitor on my computer and it is causing stuttering for any videos I play.

GeForce GTX 970
Intel Core i5-4590
8 GB Ram
1360x768 resolution for both monitors

Was I suppose to do something to prevent the stutter? I'm using HDMI for my main monitor and DVI for my second.

Are you sure you have both monitors plugged into the GPU and not one into the mobo output and one into the GPU output?

[DeathNote]

Fairly certain. There is a slot for me to plug in straight to the motherboard but even if I did that, it wouldn't show up on the screen. I don't think there is another spot for me to plug into.

obligatory have you upgraded your drivers question

[DeathNote]

I don't know how or if I did. I updated them from my settings but when I open up Nvidia it says i still have a driver I can update but when I try it states it can't contact Nvidia at this time.

[TheWayItEnds]

Do you have multiple display performance mode checked in your nvidia control panel?

[Majiffy]

I'm running Intel integrated graphics how sick is that

[DeathNote]

I'll check when i get home

You might want to try and download them directly as installers from Nvidia's website.

If you're googling for drivers try to put the exact model of your hardware in your search. "Driver update" or other generic search terms will probably direct you to malware.

refresh rate same on both?

[Majiffy]

Oh hey while we're at it

I was running Sleeping Dogs with about 30 FPS a month ago, there have been no updates in the game or any changes to my computer, and when I booted it up last week I'm getting a whopping 6.

Framerate on other games has not felt any similar blows.


Any ideas?

refresh rate same on both?

Actually for some NVidia screen tearing issues setting one moniter to 59 hz seems to solve the problems.

I think normally you want the secondary but I'd try both.

[DeathNote]

I'll give these suggestions a try tonight after work

have you considered setting your house on fire and becoming a mountain hermit?

I don't know how or if I did. I updated them from my settings but when I open up Nvidia it says i still have a driver I can update but when I try it states it can't contact Nvidia at this time.

Yea you need to uninstall and reinstall graphics drivers

OS?

Win10 is good at silent updates

Could also try reinstalling the game

And yeah I could but ergh I feel like that's like turning it off and on again and I want to know what The Problem is.

[xRECKONERx]

in fairness the turning it off and on again line is actually the key to diagnosing any problems with technology

people who complain about that without having done that are the actual worst

[Majiffy]

The

worst

[DeathNote]

Literal worst

So I finally got my GeForce Drivers updated all the way and checked to see if multiple display performance mode was on. It is and there is still a stutter.

This is where I piss on my burning house right?
