trying to run 2 monitors......

Post by mdm99 »

Hello all-

I have an AOC 24" monitor as my main display I also want to hook up my old monitor a 19" samsung. I have the AOC hooked up with an HDMI cable and the 19" with a DVI.
Running 11.2 ccc. Both monitors are up and when I play Rift on my main display and go over to the other to browse the web I get lots of lag in my game goes down to about 16fps.
Not sure why this happens.
This is my 1st radeon card and I am really happy I got it. I just want to be able to run 2 monitors if not no big deal.

Thanks for your time.

Set "Fullscreen Windowed" in preferences. That should address your issue when the focus app isn't the game.
