PC Graphics

Hi, i recently noticed that Youtube playback is choppy on 1440p and 2160p if 24.9.1 or 24.10.1 drivers are used in Chrome/Edge browser, even in windowed mode or fullscreen. I tried to modify Choose ANGLE graphics backend in Chrome flags without success, maybe D3D11on12 was slightly better for several seconds but then stuttering come back.

I noticed also when 60p video was played there was less stutter than on 24p or 30p video. I tried also modify Vsync settings, but no success either. My display is 60Hz.

No problem with 24.8.1 driver.

Windows 11 24H2 is used.

Anyone experienced similar, or have any solution?

Try disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome. Don't use Edge if possible. It's even worse than Chrome itself. Also see if the problem repeats on a non Chromium browser, such as Firefox.

I tried the new driver 24.12.1, but basically the situation is similar. Disabling HW acceleration stops the stuttering since it does not use the videocard, on 1440 and 4k30 ok, but on 4k60 chrome starts to drop frames, so not an option.

Setting ANGLE backed on D3D11on12 seems not stuttering, but sometimes the driver restarts itself during Youtube and Facebook, meaning 1-2 sec black screen.

Firefox is also not an option as the profile is used on many computers.

Also AMD needs to fix this problem as it was introduced after 24.8.1, definitely not sw or hw issue.

Worth to mention that drivers after 24.8.1 MPC-HC is also broken, closing and opening a new video within several seconds causes hanging and timeout popup "MPC-HC fix timeout when closing preview filter graph. Click YES to terminate player process. Click NO to wait longer (up to 15s).", meaning MPC-HC can't even start with new video.

Also after seeking there is some glitch for 1-2 sec.

So something is really messed up with these drivers. Never had such issue with NVIDIA cards, and I don't expect such with a flagship card.

Do "chrome://flags" or "edge://flags" to see what flags you have turned on.
