So, I’ve tried everything I can think of to solve this issue. I can’t figure it out and I would like some help. My setup is a little strange but here goes.  
I have my main monitor and a 32inch tv setup so that I can game and duplicate the screen and others can watch. There are many uses to this like netflix and all other games, which work flawlessly. When it comes to battlefield however, I can’t get either of them to run correctly. Bf3 works fairly normal for a while in the mode, but will eventually get allot of artifacts. However, if I go try to go into the video settings, no matter what it will crash. In Bf4, the game will not start at all with duplicated screens. As soon as the second display is not being used, the games work fine.

I’ve tried reinstalling both games, and reinstalling the graphics card drivers to no avail, I appreciate any help.

Edit: Specs  
Intel Core i7 3770k stock clock  
2x gtx 680 in sli  
Gigabyte z77x-ud3h Motherboard  
16gb Ballistix low profile ram

I most likely won’t be able to solve your problem but if you posted your specs I think it would make it easier for some people.

Are the monitors running at different refresh rates? Try them both with the same exact settings and see if it works

I tried that as well, as that is what i have to do when I play games as they are different refresh rates. (one is 60, the other 144) and it still didn’t work.
