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.

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.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.

How do I switch HA off then?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.
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.What browser?
Did somebody test it with a 3950x, 3960x or 3970x in Chrome with hardware accelerate off?
Go into advanced settings and it’s an option there.how do I turn hardware accel off?

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

Thx for letting me knowIt was very smooth with hardware accel off
