The 7 extra inches on my right monitor changed everything

So I was messing with my setup last night and decided to actually measure my monitors instead of just guessing they were the same size. Turns out my right monitor is 27 inches but my left one is only 24 inches, I had them flipped for like a year with the bigger one on the weaker GPU port. Swapped them around and now my main work window on the big screen feels way more natural. Anyone else ever find out their monitors didn't match and had to redo their whole layout?

Wait, hold on - you had a 27" running off the weaker port this whole time? That's insane. I mean I knew mismatched sizes could mess with your flow but I didn't think about the actual performance hit. My secondary monitor is a beat up 22" from like 2015 and I've been scared to plug it into anything but the basic port, never even checked if the bigger one was on the wrong one.

27 inches on a weaker GPU, that's like putting racing slicks on a minivan and wondering why it handles weird. I bet your GPU was just as confused as you were about that layout.
