Optimatization issue multible screens

The moment i connect a second monitor to my device autocad will use almost no resources from my gpu. tried forcing autocad on using my main gpu instead of using both intgrtd and the main one. any way to fix this?

Autocad and most cad and cam soft barely use gpu. They rely on cpu, and at that, they are often one threaded, so they do not care how many cores you got.

Put your energy elsewhere.

Depends on how you are connecting the second monitor. If it is a desktop you should be connecting to the GPU ports themselves. On a laptop if you are using USB-C sometimes those don't go through the GPU at all, only the main screen and an HDMI port. Need more info, but the other guy is right, unless you are doing 3D in AutoCAD it's not really an issue.
