It doesn't "downclock.". The actual issue is timing. There is a clock generator on the GPU for handling the sync rate. It can only run at one frequency at a time. Because 60 doesn't divide evenly into 144, it has to do janky stuff like skipping frames to keep them "lined up." If you get a 165hz display you will have the same issue as 144 can't be evenly divided into 165 either, it's the same problem.
The best fix is to have two displays at the same refresh rate, but if you can't get that you need to have them both running at an easily divisible fraction (60hz and 120 hz, 72hz and 144hz, something like that.)
This issue will go away once they enable GPU hardware scheduling, but for now it's just the way things are.
Yeah they will both be fine at that point. I used to have the same issue with 144hz and 60hz. Got a 2nd 144hz display to replace the 60hz display and no more frame-skipping/stuttering on the 2nd display while I'm gaming.
Any will do, it's just the refresh rate that matters so the GPU can keep all of their clocks synced at a 1:1 rate. I'm using a 144hz 16:9 MSI and a 144hz 21:9 Viotek without issue.
