[SOLVED] Re: Help needed with Monitors
« on: December 22, 2017, 12:49:26 PM »
I've got my second monitor today,
Now I'm trying to get it working. 1 is a 144hz BenQ and 1 is a standard 60hz for extra (to monitor things like teamspeak etc so I don't have to Alt-TAB out)

I got a GTX 1070, the 144hz is connected to the DVI-D port with the cable for the 144hz monitor.
Now I tried to set up my second monitor on the 1070, with a HDMI.

For so long it works.
But when I want to get a game up, like Arma 3. It launches on the standard monitor and not on the 144hz.
(it worked with Rainbow Six Siege before)

Can someone guide me trough this? So I can run all my games on the 144hz and other things on the second monitor?
