VM 500Mb/s so not an issue, old MS Edge with HA on fine new Chromium Edge not so fine with HA on or off.

Dont know what's up with MyBrains rig, but my sig rig plays it flawlessly. CPU at 2% utilisation and GPU at 75%.

Probably a lot of peoples internet connection too. I'm running a VM 350 connection. It seems to be pulling about 70 Mbps, so a beefy connection is needed.

You're running it with hardware acceleration enabled, so the graphics card is doing all the heavy lifting. What was being discussed is running it entirely on the CPU with hardware acceleration turned off - an area where Chrome seems to have problems, but Firefox doesn't.

How do I switch HA off then?

What browser?

It’s ok, just done it. Yeah, I concur, on chrome it’s awful. A choppy mess. 4K seems to be the limit in chrome.

I assume Chromium Edge is basically a few builds behind but same as Chrome so same for me.

Aren’t chrome and YouTube both owned by Google?

You’d think this would be a problem that could be easily resolved with a bit of in-house tuning.

Did somebody test it with a 3950x, 3960x or 3970x in Chrome with hardware accelerate off?

how do I turn hardware accel off?

Go into advanced settings and it’s an option there.

Only use Waterfox i'm afraid, but this is a 3950x with HA disabled in Waterfox:

How about actual recording 8K PC gameplay and streaming it.Not just watching 8K.Here is how to record 8K with OBS if anyone is interested.

Ok times moved on so has Edge Chromium builds, I can now play it smoothly (before I had to use old Edge) and skip forward/back and play instantly with or without Hardware Acceleration so CPU or GPU based.

3950x & 2080ti

Hardware Accel Off. I accidentally cut off the GPU usage on the first image, but it basically just idles when hardware accel is off. GPU usage is misleading anyway. With hardware accel on, task manager looks like the GPU is running at 72%, maybe it's using that many cuda cores, but the core speed and power draw is low - the GPU is only pulling 80w out of a possible 330w - I suspect the 2080ti would be able to handle 16k 60fps playback too, but that would cause very high power draw

Hardware Accel On

i7 7700K stock with GTX1080 with Chrome browser

Hardware acceleration on

Hardware acceleration off:

Work laptop run is but it does pause sporadically.

FF was a load of trash, Edge Chromium was 100% better in comparison

Ok nice but how was the experience? Was there Ani problem during playback? Was it 60 fps (when hardware accelerate was off)?

Grim5 · 17 Feb 2020 at 17:57

It was very smooth with hardware accel off

Thx for letting me know
