Hi All,
Recently I have bought a new Asus XG27UCS@160hz (but I only run it at 120hz - using Display Port) for gaming and to complement my Dell S2722QC@60hz (using HDMI) when for productivity tasks - both monitors are used 4k resolution.
This is the monitor in question:

Over the weekend, I used both monitors simultaneously, while playing Cyberpunk on the Asus one - everything looked to be working without any issues.
On Monday, after booting up the PC, I noticed a considerable amount of lag in the login screen when trying to prompt my user for a password - after login, I noticed that when opening certain applications (and also when going to the System Settings Power Option tab) they just become splashed on the screen for few seconds (it is very noticeable), while I am trying to move the mouse around.
When using my old Dell U2719D 1440p 60hz display, the lag is not as noticeable but I am still able to perceive it.
When just using the Asus XG27UCS even at 60hz, the lag is as perceivable as when using a dual monitor setup - it also occurs using hdmi 2.1.
I have used DDU to reinstall the Graphics Card drivers but to no avail.
These are currently my computer specs:
- AMD 5900x
- RTX 3070 8GB
- 64GB@3200mhz DDR4
I want to mention that I don't have these issues when using a Macbook Pro laptop with dual monitor setup - everything works flawlessly.
Is this a Windows 11 problem? Isn't my graphics able to handle this setup? Or is a mix of both? Or something else entirely?
Edit: I have just done a clean Windows 11 installation; the issue stills persists either dual or when just using the Asus monitor. I am wondering if the 4k Dell also lags but I am unable to perceive it.
