Why do you need monitor switched on?

Featured Replies

You would think having monitor switched on would take away resources from the gpu.  If I  am in a nice smooth flight,  switch off the monitor to save a  little power it turns into a stutter fest?

Out of interest anyone know the science behind this?

Doesn't seem logical to my little mind?

Having used VR since 2016 and performed benchmarks in various VR games/sims with the Monitor turned on/off and various configurations of the "VR Mirror" on the desktop, with various different Spec PCs - I can safely state that turning off the Monitor has very little, if any noticeable impact on performance.

That’s really strange as if I turn it off it becomes unplayable, dreadful stutters.  I wonder if it’s a windows 11 thing or G synch ? No idea as not a IT guru .  You would think not outputting to monitor would free stuff up 🧐

I get that too. it might be windows having to shuffle the video output around and make other changes as the device turns off which interrupts things
