I just bought a second monitor (finally) to improve my workflow, but was surprised to discover Slate performance for undocked windows is terrible, especially full screen ones (on a second monitor). Blueprint graphs, the most important windows to have, in particular are atrocious.
Well, I don’t know what to tell you, or how your system is set up, but I routinely use two monitors without issues, but then it’s normally just a BP editor on the second monitor.
I can tell you (and again, I don’t know if this is your case) that sometimes second monitors go with a default/built-in graphics processing and don’t use the discrete high-end graphics processing.
I think this is obvious if you’re not using a second port on a desktop video card, but is not always obvious if you’re using a laptop.
Again, I don’t know what’s going on with your setup, but I have no problems. I often even have multiple projects open at the same time on different screens without any problems.
Thanks for the reply. You don’t get any significant drop in FPS when you open a BP graph in another window while you have the viewport visible on main screen? I think I forgot to mention that the issue is with the viewport visible, but I figure that would be the usual case.
Yes, I do this all the time - have a BP open on one monitor while the editor window is open on the other, both just editing and PIE I have not experienced any problems.
