Dual Monitor Gaming Performance Hit

Clearly, I do not know as much about computers as I very much should however this past Christmas I was given a Dell S2418HN 24" Monitor.

Previously I had a eMachines E182H 18.5" Monitor.

The specs for the monitors are shown here respectively: Resolution: 1920 x 1080

Display type: LED Backlit

HD format: 1080p

Brand: Dell

Size: 24 in

Resolution: 1366 x 768

Display type: LCD

Brand: eMachines

Size: 18.5 in

As for the problem I face, before Christmas, the eMachines monitor was my sole monitor which I used for gaming, it's now been replaced by the Dell monitor and functions as a secondary monitor for things like videos, discord, etc.

However seemingly since the Dell monitor has been plugged into my computer I've experienced serious performance drops in games that previously worked fine. Games that would previously run between 40 to 60 or higher now run between 20 and 30.

The specs of my machine are:

Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 759 Ti

Driver Version: 388.71

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590 CPU @ 3.30GHz

Ram: 7.89 GB

Display: 1920 x 1080, 59Hz

Edit: Format issue.
