Dual GPU for triple monitor?

My three monitors are all running different refresh rates no problem. I'd start trying different cables, and /or using the primary video connection on each monitor. Sounds like a process of elimination at this point.

Yeah it's an odd one. For example, if I'm playing PoE2, then any twitch stream or YouTube video running on a different monitor has the video freeze after maybe 5 minutes of play, but audio keeps running. However, if I'm playing Destiny 2, YouTube doesn't have issues but Twitch does. Same issue no matter which of the other two monitors runs either twitch or YouTube.

Isn't there another site that helps with multi steam? I can't remember the name of it.
 
If you minimize YouTube/twitch so it is audio only still an issue? Thinking maybe audio processing instead of visual processing.

It's only the video playback that stops. The video will simply freeze frame but the audio keeps going. Sites respond totally normally. It's like the visual portion of the stream gets paused, but the audio doesn't. Refresh the site and everything is fine another 5 minutes or so.

I have sent Chrome stop rendering on occasion lately. Scrolling a website and half the browser stops drawing. Instead of a refresh resizing the browser forces a redraw and it works again.

Also worth checking dev tools in the browser

I'll test chrome to see if it's the browser. Although I'm a Firefox guy and I've tested with/without hardware acceleration.
 
My call about the refresh rate is because I once had a bandwith problem at my job on a triple monitor pc, with 2 x 4k + 1 x 1080p monitor.

Not enough bandwith for running them all, unless I reduced the refresh rate... That should not be a problem with your GPU, but a bad driver and / or bad cable could do something similar.

Any warning / error in the event viewer when that happens?
