Question

Gaming performance decreased while browsing?

Oct 14, 2018 8:21AM PDT

Why does my gaming FPS decrease by a good amount when I'm browsing on my second monitor?

Is it because of low RAM? I have 8gb

Is it because of my CPU? I5-7600K

Why is this and how can I fix it so that my performance isn't affected or atleast to the point where I can't tell a difference?

And hardly ever a security issue. Since you don't share the reports, I can't check this for issues.

One monitor = so much load.
Two monitors = more load.

Nothing new going on here.
