Just went to a dual monitor setup today, a 24" 1080P samsung and a 1440P MG279Q. Everytime i've seen people game on dual monitors, the primary monitor runs the game and the second monitor goes into standby. However my primary plays the game and the secondary just displays the desktop. Where I've looked on the internet people are trying to get their systems to do what mine is doing, however i actually want my secondary monitor to go into standby when im gaming, but cant seem to find answers anywhere, which suggests to me thats what it should do as default but for some reason mine is not doing it. Running an R9 390 btw. Thanks in advance.

Mine stays on, and strangely I can mouse wheel up and down webpages on the second monitor without losing focus on the game on the main screen.
