around the internet e.g. facebook on first screen, the video fps break in. the video stutters very badly if i scroll like a madman

is that lack of core power or gpu power?

core is a i7 6700, gpu is a gtx 960

rest: 512gig ssd, 16gb ram ddr4, screen 1 is powered by a hdmi, screen 2 by usb c to hdmi port. both screens are 27" full hd, no 4k.

chrome is a piecr of shit

2x 27" screens are a bit much for a GTX 960.

Finally somebody who gets it

it's a common misconception resolution is what has an impact on gpu utilization, 30 inches 720p is a lot more demanding than even 12 inches 1080p, how u think the switch runs so well off the dock? OP, if u want that many inches on a gtx 960 consider letterboxing to a lower square inch resolution (you can place sticky notes on the monitor where there's no picture to hide them).

For over 50 inches between 2 Full HD monitors you would need at least a 1070 ti, maybe higher if you wanted to use demanding applications like gmail.

so my core is fine? just need to upgrade the gpu?

Yeah, but these days that can be very expensive. Maybe look around for a used GTX 960, then you can run SLI.

did you turn off hardware acceleration in chrome/ff/etc?

i dont know. everything i use should be on stock settings. i never change stuff bcuz i dont wanna do a mistake.



will check out prices when i find the time. does that only count for nvidia or is ati also expensive atm?

All the vid card prices are insane right now. All the crypto-currency miners, bought them all up.

recommend a 1080 ti for optimal flash performance and smoothly running youtube videos at 27"
