Scraggles Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 So far, my biggest complaint about windows 8 is the fact that on my 2nd monitor, videos stutter with every single player and updated drivers when I'm playing games. There has got to be a solution but I can't find it. Do you guys have any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cacoe Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 What's your hardware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZakO Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 What graphics card do you have? On Windows 8 I can play a game on one screen and watch a HD video on the other, both full screen @ 1920x1080 without any stuttering (old graphics card - nVidia GTX 260).

McKay Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I have an ATI Radeon 5650M and if I have anyone fullscreen like a game on one monitor, the other monitor runs at a stupidly low FPS. Doesnt matter how demanding the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewbares Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Probably comes down to drivers not being updated for Windows 8 (a.k.a. just like problems with Vista) oliver182, Seahorsepip and Duffydemon 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahorsepip Veteran Posted September 9, 2012 Veteran Share Posted September 9, 2012 Keep in mind latest nvidia drivers are still beta drivers :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Spaceman Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 One of the reasons I've stopped using Windows 8. Maybe when drivers get updated I'll be back, but we'll see what the future brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadelwo Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I have an ATI Radeon 5650M and if I have anyone fullscreen like a game on one monitor, the other monitor runs at a stupidly low FPS. Doesnt matter how demanding the game. Seems to be an issue with AMD 12.8 drivers at present. I had issues with waterfox, did complete uninstall, folder delete, restart, reinstall and would still crash ever so often. Happens with the Modern music app at times too. Followed a thread somewhere where it said delete the driver in device manager and restart and the afore mentioned programs haven't crashed yet.

Scraggles Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 I'm running an Intel i7-2600K, 32gb ram, nvidia geforce gtx 560ti video card. There is absolutely no reason it should be happening based on hardware specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted September 9, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted September 9, 2012 Yeah but it's the driver that makes it work with Windows and it's software, I'm guessing you'll just have to wait for an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detection Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I'm running an Intel i7-2600K, 32gb ram, nvidia geforce gtx 560ti video card. There is absolutely no reason it should be happening based on hardware specs. Must be the driver, I have 2 x 6850s and am currently watching a film on HDMI and typing this on DVI (GPU 1) without any stutter or flicker and can play games on either fine (Except for AMDs HDMI scaling issues) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phailyoor Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 WDDM 1.2 windows 8 drivers are a bit flaky. Windows7/vista graphics drivers should still work, though they don't have access to WDDM 1.2 features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthonyd Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Probably comes down to drivers not being updated for Windows 8 (a.k.a. just like problems with Vista) ^this.Also keep in mind that the GA is set for October, the current window between RTM and GA is always an issue when it comes to find good drivers.

Dashel Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 No issues on my AMD but several nVidia friends have this issue. Thats three in a row from the less than fine folkes at nVidia on hitting release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jatt5 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I was having this issue. Solution 1: Right click on game .exe then Compatibility set to windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prz Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Driver support for the 5 series nVidia cards seem to be wishy-washy since it's now 2 generations old there's a lot of issues that have been left cold. Hope this works out for you. I'm considering upgrading my 570 to a 770 because of other related issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
