Hello, I am using a samsung 60hz 1080p monitor now, planning to get a 144hz one in the near future.

I wanna do dual monitor with these 2 monitors but some people seem to say the setup is problematic because windows will pull down the refresh rate to match 60hz.

I could sell off the 60hz monitor but I felt its abit waste because I just bought it very recently.

Feedback from any successful users?

It will not so comfortable to your eyes switching from 60hz to 144hz and back.

Why not just get all 144hz monitors?

Plus out of budget

The 60hz monitor would just be used for word documents and web surfing while gaming

no problem for mine.
main at 144hz, 2nd at 60hz.

2nd just for twitch stream/useless stuff.
if im nt wrong there will be problem when u using both for gaming / or u just unlucky

same here.. was using 240hz fhd n 60hz qhd.. 25inch n 27inch lagi.. no big deal

just ensure you buy RTX 2060 min will do .

to ensure support most of the latest game . monitor doesn't matter much .144hz play game .. and the another 60hz do another work .

same here.. was using 240hz fhd n 60hz qhd.. 25inch n 27inch lagi.. no big deal

You windows 10 bro?

Read is when tabbing to 2nd screen 60hz to do anything hardware accelerated stuff like opening chrome will stutter main 144hz screen.

Whats your configuration and spec may I ask?

Dual monitor plugged in gpu?

Im using 144hz + 75hz monitor. Both are running fine and the 75hz does not bottleneck the 144hz.

You too bro, mind sharing configuration and spec?

mine pc or wat??

i7 6700
16gb
rx 480 8gb

yea , win10

if u in game, use borderless window obviously.

so far i didnt get any weird stuff like u mention.

r5 2600+ old ass msi rx480.

yes dual plug gpu, main dp , 2nd hdmi

i play dota2 (this ezy high fps even with my crap rx480) / witcher3/ bdo + android emulator with game running, 2nd monitor twitch stream on also no problem

ahh rx480 gang

forget update signature.. p600 died...

No problem between different refresh rate on mine. If you try to do 2 monitors recognized as 1 monitor or play game that span 2 monitor then it will follow the lowest refresh rate.

no issue with dual monitor, 60+ 144
Old LG 60hz 5yr old++
Asus gaming monitor 144hz

What do u mean by pull down refresh rate? my gaming monitor always run 144.
As long as ur GPU can handle i dont think it will be an issue.
If u r using nvidia, make sure u pick the 2nd one option. if not when game and tab out, some fullscreen game will cause weird random flickering line.

This is the problem people are talking about

Someone mentioned that plugging in your 2nd monitor into your integrated graphics instead should fix the problem. (Make sure that onboard graphics is enabled in your bios) I run my second monitor with a second older graphics card. (Non-SLI) So it helped too

Ye I read that. I haven't got my 144hz monitor in yet, now just wanna get feedback from nvidia owners who has similar setup.

I've read somewhere before that this is a myth and its not true.
