Shitty Youtube

maybe disable hardware acceleration?

What GPU do you have? Do you know gpu is the one in charge of decoding the video right?
Its only done on the cpu when you don't have a powerfull enough GPU, but the thing is that they only use 1 core when using a web browser.
If you download the video and you use MPC-HC for playback it will probably run smoothly.

Does it lag on Microsoft Edge? I'm not shilling but it seems to be the best optimized browser, at least on Windows 10

CPU utilization over 50% running 4k video and I have a 980

>>59102571
you should try the new Intel® Core™ i7-7700K Kaby Lake™ processor

Holly shit it doesn't lag on edge... wtf are chrome and mozilla doing? isnt youtube like the second most visited search engine you think they would optimize the hell out of it

>not 6950x
bad goy

>>59102681
Lol no thanks especially after that ryzen launch.

The 980 doesn't have H.265 hardware decoding so if the video is encoded like that it will fall back to decode it on the CPU. And, for whatever reason, is limited to half the cores.

Check gpu usage to see if its only a bad HW acceleration implementation o Chrome/Firefox side.

When i run the same video on Edge vs chrome

Edge uses my gpu's video engine 40% at 4k

chrome relies on cpu and doesn't use gpu at all with hardware acceleration both on and off.

I didn't know youtube even supports h.265 yet. is that true?

>>59102571
is is pretty common when downscaling

This might actually be reason enough to switch to edge
