Render issues using Adobe Premiere Pro with 2023 Ms Mac mini

I just wanted to test the speed of the computer using premiere. Uploaded vertical phone footage from an iPhone 13 Pro. 3 clips totaling less than 5 min of video. Added some noise as an effect within premiere. No third-party plug ins. The mini is only days old. M2, 24GB RAM, 1 TB internal SSD. Running 10.14 and Premiere Pro 2023. It's been 2 hrs and 5 min and the render is only 45.78 completed. A render, not an export. What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting I'm missing? Using 2 4k 120Hz monitors out of one of the Thunderbolts and going to a splitter. Never seen premiere run this slow and this machine should more than capable of rendering short videos like this in a flash.

Anyone have any suggestions?

That could be the problem. Play nice, play by the spec Mac mini - Technical Specifications - Apple

👍 Dedicated ports and no splitting - should work.

Based on your response, if I went o one monitor, that would most likely fix the problem? That being said, even though the monitors are 120Hz, they can still operate at 60Hz without issue, no? Is the mini trying to match the refresh rate of the monitor and that's causing the slow rendering?

Thanks very much for your help...

After further review, it turns out both the monitors I'm using are 60Hz, not 120 Hz, which I initially reported. My apologies. But it sounds like it's the HDMI port that may be the issue, yes? It sounds like the HDMI port cannot support both the monitors and I need to switch to one monitor per port (HDMI/Thunderbolt). Does that sound right?

Thanks again...
