    [Troubleshooting] New Build 980 Ti/GT 610 FPS drop when using second monitor.

    I've raised a ticket with the nVidia rep. They couldn't figure it out either so they had it escalated. I've ran GPU-Z and logged some information to see what happens when I'm gaming with a video, and gaming without. Essentially three things changed, when I turned the video on. Memory...

    [Troubleshooting] New Build 980 Ti/GT 610 FPS drop when using second monitor.

    They are not, I have tried everything without any luck. I think I'm going to just replace one of the monitors with one of the new 1440p 144hz IPS soon anyway. I did discovering something interesting. Using a single monitor connected to the 980 Ti. If I have a browser up, twitch/youtube up...

    [Troubleshooting] New Build 980 Ti/GT 610 FPS drop when using second monitor.

    I've got it set to maximum performance, and multiple display performance in the nvidia control panel. Didn't seem to make a difference. It definitely seems throttled but I don't know why. I've tried running in Firefox/Chrome, same issues both browsers.

    [Troubleshooting] New Build 980 Ti/GT 610 FPS drop when using second monitor.

    Gaming on monitor 1 with the 980 Ti and 100+ FPS. Open up browser on second monitor, and my frames on monitor 1 immediately drop to an unplayable 40.

    [Troubleshooting] New Build 980 Ti/GT 610 FPS drop when using second monitor.

    I go from 100+ to ~40. It's definitely not right. Extremely chopping and noticeable. I've googled everything, and I'm out of ideas.

    [Troubleshooting] New Build 980 Ti/GT 610 FPS drop when using second monitor.

    I've recently built a new rig, and I'm having severe FPS drops on my main monitor while I pull up anything on a browser on my second monitor. Both of my monitors are DVI only (overclockable version with single input) Both are running at 96hz via dual link DVI. The MSI 980 Ti only has one, so...

    HTPC/Entertainment Center plans, advice, questions, and concerns

    TV Tuner is still something I am looking at. I haven't done much research on them, or know a lot about them - but from what I've found, there are only 1-2 good ones, one of them is impossible to get your hands on, and the other is like $400 bucks. I read a lot about this, there seems to be...

    HTPC/Entertainment Center plans, advice, questions, and concerns

    I actually have a KEF KHT subwoofer from my Dad that he bought a few years ago, going to give it a whirl before I end up getting another sub. I think it's actually a very high quality Sub (He's a bit of an audiophile) That being said, I like the BICF12 since that seems recommended the most, if...

    HTPC/Entertainment Center plans, advice, questions, and concerns

    Thanks for the replies thus far, please don't hesitate to chime in. Yeah, I looked at that Sub - pretty good reviews for 100 bucks, will likely be included as well. I also read plenty that the M70s if I happen to get them - pack a pretty decent bass. I am in a townhouse so I didn't need to...

    HTPC/Entertainment Center plans, advice, questions, and concerns

    Hey folks, I've read a ton of the stickies, lurked for a long time, have researched an overwhelming amount of information. I'm finally in a position where I can begin to act on my itch for a HTPC/entertainment center setup. I'm 23, employed, making a decent living, and single. Live vicariously...
