Constant stuttering in games when watching youtube/twitch

[kuliksco]

I have this 32" LG gsync monitor at 165hz https://www.amazon.com/LG-32GK850G-B-Ga ... B078TTXLW5

I also have a 9900k at 5ghz with a 2080ti and I can't watch youtube or twitch on a 2nd monitor at 60hz without getting a good amount of stuttering (maybe it's tearing since my fps doesn't drop) every second while playing a game like overwatch in borderless windowed on all low settings at 165fps.

I'm running the latest drivers and I have gsync + vsync on in nvidia control panel and currently frame limiting to 162. Vsync is off in game. Both monitors are using display port.

I can run in fullscreen and the video is fine. From what I have been reading I think it might be because of windows display manager applying vsync and triple buffering. Most of the articles I found were old and I was wondering if anyone has a workaround.

I don't know of a workaround. Using different monitors at different refresh rates causes stutter.

Thanks for the response. I think I might just pick up another one of the same monitor for a 2nd. I'm wondering though if I need to spend the extra $250 on gsync. Do you know if there will be a difference if I don't game on the 2nd monitor, only watch videos.
Was thinking about going with the Radeon FreeSync version: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078T ... UTF8&psc=1

yeah you don't need the gsync version. I'm waiting for for a sale on my current monitor to get around the same problem too.

Will there ever be a fix for this?
