Second Monitor Lags & Medal Recording Breaks When Destiny 2 Runs Above 90 FPS
Hey everyone, I’ve been running into a super weird issue and hoping someone else has seen it.
Specs:
GPU: RX 6600
CPU: i5-10400F
Main monitor: 1440p 180Hz
Second monitor: 1080p 60Hz
Recording with Medal (720p60fps) for clips
The issue:
When I play Destiny 2 and let the FPS go over 90, my second monitor starts bugging out hard. YouTube videos basically freeze (like 2 frames every 5 seconds), Discord screen shares lag like crazy, and sometimes Discord even crashes. My Medal clips also come out super choppy and messed up.
The weird part is this only happens in Destiny 2. Every other game I play, everything works perfectly fine, even at high FPS.
I haven’t made any major changes to my setup and I’d prefer not to if possible. Just wondering if this is some weird quirk with D2’s engine or if there’s something I can tweak to fix it.
Appreciate any help!
