Laptop dual monitor lagging

[Chadcri]

Hello everyone! I hope you'll doing well!

I recently bought a 22' monitor (Samsung T35F) to my laptop (Acer Nitro 5)
The main screen is using my iGPU (Intel HD Graphics 630), and my new monitor is using my GPU (GTX 1050)

Everyone wallpaper engine is started, my second monitor starts lagging a lot (like i'm playing at 20fps), the only solution I've got for now is shutting down the program.

I tried to use the wallpaper only in one screen instead of both and I'm experiencing the same problem.

Had somebody suffer this? What can I do?
Thank you!

You can assign Wallpaper Engine to the dedicated GPU: https://www.top-password.com/blog/enable-high-performance-gpu-for-windows-10-apps-or-games/ set wallpaper32.exe from the installation directory to "high performance".

The Windows desktop is always only rendered by one GPU and then it's copied to the other, if multiple GPUs are involved. Ideally the hardware should render both displays from the same GPU, but this is ultimately up to the hardware manufacturer to decide.

Hello Biohazard! Thank you for your response <3
I tried as you said, and that made my main monitor (iGPU) run smoothly, but my second monitor (GPU) still has a lot of lag on windows

I saw that, even if I'm displaying a wallpaper on my GPU monitor, my iGPU performance goes above 30% usage, and my GPU between 20% - 30%

Btw: I'm using Windows 11, I don't know if that information is useful

Perhaps try disabling the Nvidia Share overlay. Your usage isn't so high that it would explain performance issues, so maybe the lag you mentioned is caused by the overlay hook.

I tried to do the same but it's still lagging :(
