Problem with fullscreen windowed on games.
I went to fullscreen windowed on my games since I got my second monitor recently. But when I did, I noticed there was an increase in latency, what I mean is when I move my mouse, it takes longer to appear on the screen. Does anyone know a solution to this?

Any help is appreciated.

Perhaps the pixel refresh rate on one or more of your monitor(s) is poor

They're both running at 60Hz

The manufacture will state it. Are your monitors identical?

How so? You realize even when having a game set to a non-full screen mode; such as a form of windowed mode, you generally will still need to ALT+Tab to switch focus to other apps, right? Such as things you'd like to actually interact with on another screen. When the focus is on the game window, that is where the focus of the mouse should be.

I meant the latency between me moving my mouse and it appearing as a movement is longer with fullscreen windowed.
