Dual Monitor Lag

As of upgrading from Win 7 Pro, to the preview release of win 8, my second monitor while playing a game in full screen will lag for example.

Using ventrilo there will be a 2-3 second delay for the green light to show up, where as the sound is instant.

If i have a video running while i'm in game whether it be Flash on youtube, or VLC media player it will free and stutter, the video will run at around 1 frame per 30 seconds.

If i boot Windows 7 which is on an older HHD it runs fine, and the screen refresh rates are both at 60hz.

Anyone have any ideas to the problem at all?

Hello LVG.
I have exactly the same problem as you. Have you found any solution?

Have you try to update the graphics driver?

Did you visit the manufacturer's website for the latest driver release and if the driver is windows 8 ready?

I suggest [DEL]this issue[/DEL] to update [DEL]about[/DEL] driver for I have experience it before.

And inform us what you have got.

All my drivers are up to date, The manufacturer hasn't released windows 8 drivers but I also think that one of my monitors doesn't have any drivers for windows 7.

Yes. I updated the graphicsdrivers and all.
I have not gone back to Windows 7. Guess I just have to wait and see.
I have a Nvidia GTX 465 gfx card.

If you play the game in WindowsMode you dont get any lag.
