My computer just can't play high framerate videos from a GoPro, not even 60 FPS. It plays 1080p 30 FPS just fine, but 4k 60 FPS HEVC is choppy and the video cuts in and out. VLC, PotPlayer, Windows Medial Player, OpenShot, doesn't matter, it doesn't work. I even bought some add-in from the Microsoft store for $1 that was supposed to help with playing HEVC and it still sucks. The files are on an internal HDD btw.
How can I get this computer to reliably play these videos? I tested my monitor on a rig running an i7 and a Quadro P4000 and the exact same videos run fine on it, so it's definitely my computer that's the problem. Honestly, even my iphone can play the videos just fine.
