I doubt that dxnothing has a huge impact. Pandemonium lags me too but not with my cpu. I have a bit more head room in that component than you though the same gpu.

You can try dxnothing but I would look into seeing if any background processes were eating cycles first.

Another thing to try is doing a overlapping Windows on main monitor and using viewers on a dxnothing on the second monitor.
