I have 2 monitors

1) Crossover 27Q 60Hz @ 1440p resolution - set as Primary for everything EXCEPT gaming

2) ASUS VG248QE 144Hz @1080p resolution - I want to make this my gaming monitor only

Is there anyway to have steam launch and play my games from my 2nd monitor only? I will donate $5 via PayPal to whomever can get this working properly for me

thank you!

First, I recommend you to set the 144hz monitor as primary (otherwise most "stupid" games will configure themself in 60hz mode as they pick up that refresh information from the primary monitor).
Then, it is up to you. Or you can install a software which will force your other applications to be run on the second monitor like Displayfusion or AMP for example, or you can simply move the other applications between monitors manually with Windows-Shift-Left/Right or with the mouse, and most of your applications will remember the monitor they have been showed each times you start them anyway.

Also, do not forget to launch your games in windowed/borderless mode to be able to use your second monitor while playing, otherwise the game will get minimized everytime you press ALT-TAB.

Right click on the steam icon and select Big Picture, there you have to option to launch every game on the 2nd monitor.

The only way to make games launch on a monitor is to set this monitor as primary.
