This may have been a problem forever or recently really hard to say because if it's been there forever I just barely noticed.
Any time with Chrome I go full screen with a video player like YouTube I get stutters that may not seem noticable but they're there. I checked the YouTube frame drops and they pile up like crazy so I'm not going crazy. This problem doesn't happen when not in full screen.
Now this is a relatively 3 week old fresh install of W11, I have updated GPU drivers Chipset Drivers and all that. I have tried reinstalling Chrome but it's not entirely a Chrome issue either, I can replicate it on Edge. Basically I have 2 monitors and like to watch stuff on my 2nd monitor when gaming so I have to turn off hardware acceleration in Chrome or else the videos will stutter BADLY when playing. The thing is they still stutter in fullscreen when not in game. When I turn hardware acceleration on again the stuttering is entirely fixed completely and can be replicated on Edge as well with the same results.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do? Or am I just SOL and if I want to watch fullscreen video gotta turn on hardware acceleration then turn it off when playing games because that will get annoying really fast.
I installed Firefox and tested it thoroughly, and now it works perfectly from that perspective. Certain YouTube videos will freeze completely even when audio is playing, or cause endless buffering. However, I believe I resolved this by enabling AV1 on YouTube videos, which appears to have addressed the issue.
It seems the stuttering might be related to a Chromium browser problem. I’m not sure if I should follow any more recommendations, but for now, I’ll stick with Firefox.
It doesn't matter if it didn't work; some videos are still being played. I don't understand what's happening. Firefox struggles to play certain YouTube videos, Chrome freezes when using fullscreen unless hardware acceleration is enabled, but with hardware on and videos on a second monitor it becomes extremely slow. This issue hasn't occurred before, yet none of the browsers seem able to handle videos properly.
I just completed this and it turned out quite well, though it stuttered slightly. The iGPU alone worked without issues. After the prior test, I turned off the iGPU in the MoBo, but the problem persisted. It's not as bad as before, but it remains with the Chromium browsers and doesn't resolve the Firefox problems.
