Hey there! I have these weird artifacts on my 2nd monitor when alt + tabbing while a video is playing on my 2nd monitor. I'll add the video of the issues and the system info down below! Video of the issue: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DU_elIpBM1iEzXMqJfJ-4oy4dtTRTTq_/view HW Acceleration is off in Google Chrome. The game is in Full Screen. System is fully updated (BIOS,GPU Driver, Windows Updates, Chipset Driver...) System Info Windows 10 Home (x64) Build 19045.2913 Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B550-PLUS Bios Version: 3002 (Default Settings, D.O.C.P On, Resizeable Bar on) RAM: 16 GB (2x8GB Sticks) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR 4 3200MHz CL-16 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (No OC) GPU: Powercolor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (No OC) Storage: Samsung SSD 750 EVO 120GB | Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB (Bootdrive) | NVMe Crucial P5 Plus 500GB PSU: Thermaltake Smart SE 530W Modular Monitor Main Monitor: iiyama GB2760QSU (1440p 144Hz) - Connected Via DP 2nd Monitor: BenQ GL2450 (1080p 60Hz) - Connected via HDMI I've had issues with video playback on my 2nd monitor for quite some time now, it's fine currently because it's just artifacts but I had my main screen lagging out while a video was running, I had bluescreen while watching videos, which are gone currently but I have no clue what's wrong with my system. Thanks for reading this and I hope you have a fantastic day :)

Im not sure if this is the right place, but I figured it may be worth a shot asking here. I recently got a S95B and it was working well until I attached a soundbar with eARC. I have been watching some 4k 60Hz videos on 2x speed, and did not have any issues before getting my sound bar. Since then, I have, for example, seen youtube drop 3731 out of 7811 frames. My tv is hardwired, and I have gigabit internet, so that is not the issue. I am wondering if somehow eARC adds additional load to the processor and causes this. Has anyone else encountered similar issues, and what did you do to resolve it?

Hi all. So I got a Zenbook pro duo UX581GV (1.5 year old) with an RTX2060 and an Intel UHD 630 and Iv been losing my mind trying to figure first if Im not imagining the constant micro stutters on every video and then trying to troubleshoot them. Its micro stutters everywhere, nothing helps, and I get it when connecting to an exterior monitor through every way possible, to different extents. I tried connecting it through HDMI so its connected straight to the 2060. I tried it through the USB C port with a hub and HDMI. I tried connecting a powered hub via USB 3, a Dell dock with DisplayLink port via HDMI and DP. Every one of these has different degrees of stutter in different apps, if its working okay on youtube then Netflix app stutters more, if its working well in Netflix on a different port, its stuttering with a different app. My 4 years old surface pro plays two videos simultaneously smoother than this thing that's brand new and supposed to be a beast. And, I, of course, updated drivers updated windows, reset windows, upgraded to windows 11, tried with or without GPU acceleration in windows graphic settings and chromes/edge settings. I learned after a while that its a long-standing issue that was reported in Nvidia forums 4 plus years ago, apparently Laptops with both Nvidia card and the Intel GPU unit together has this "small" "quirk" where if you connect an external display you get stutter city in videos and mouse movement and window dragging etc.. After reading that thread I tried more things, I tried various advanced power options, disabling fast reboot, disabling and enabling the intel 630 adapter, shutting down DWM.exe. A good permanent option people found is disabling the intel adapter from bios as a workaround, but that isn't an option for me with the Duo laptop because of that 2nd monitor that is built-in. I threw everything suggested at this problem, something helped, Im not sure what, but its somewhat better than before (or maybe that's a placebo effect.. IDK.. I'm losing it), but its definitely still an issue. It is baffling to me how premium products that cost us thousands of dollars can have an issue as major as this just ignored for years. I also suspect it this has something to do with why I don't use my laptop set on its native 4k res, because I experienced all those issues on day 1 just from the fact that I already have an external monitor permanently connected. I wish someone in the LTT crew catch a glimpse of this and see its history of a 5 year long ass thread: Laptop 1070 External Monitor Stutter | NVIDIA GeForce Forums and maybe do a video or something about this, I never knew this can be a thing in laptops, and its a basic functionality so people should know. And also that might put some pressure on idk.. MS? Nvidia? Intel? to do something.

Hey! Alright so I have been having this problem for a long time now, and I am pretty much out of ideas as to why it is happening. Can't explain what it is but let me show you. Specs: MOBO : Intel S5520SC CPU : 2x Xeon X5670's 6 cores (12 cores/ 24 threads) RAM : 24 GB 1333 MHz GPU : Gigabyte GTX 1060 6 GB PSU : EVGA 750W GQ When does it happen: Usually while watching HD+ Videos on YouTube Watching movies on other software that use WebKit (i.e Popcorn Time) Watching Netflix aswell Rarely happens in VLC. Firefox and Chrome At one point I was watching a movie and my whole system slowed down like crazy BUT it didn't freeze. Mouse started moving slowly, num key light if pressed takes 30 seconds to show any effect. Things I have done : Reinstalled Windows 10 Pro Uninstalled Windows Nvidia Drivers (385) and Installed Nvidia Official (388) Downloaded High bit-rate videos and played them in VLC player and it didn't reoccur. GPU and CPU stress tests show nothing Games that are CPU and GPU intensive show nothing. UPDATE: I tested the same symptoms on Linux (Debian 9.2) and it DID NOT HAPPEN. Therefore, it is not hardware and is primarily Windows specific. Temps seem to be normal within 40c across the board except for CPU 2 which is generally a few degrees hotter but that's because of a smaller CPU cooler. Can someone help? Is there a way to show a dump of the GPU ? I have looked around and I only came across Nvidia Developer Modes using SDKs ....etc

I am looking for a budget notebook with MP4 playback that can play 60-90 minutes without being plugged into a power source, something that is portable and 10". I have seen the Fusion 5 notebook on Amazon but I am concerned as the reviews state the build quality isn't good, any other recommendations? Thank you.

Hi, I'm working a lot with video editing of 4K clips and Premiere Pro cc 2018. With that in mind i went out and upgraded my PC with some pretty high end parts The only thing i didn't upgrade was the MSI GeForce 980 from my old rig, since i thought the GPU didn't do much for video editing. The problem i have now is mainly the playback performance inside Premiere Pro (when editing 4K clips from the Phantom 4 PRO). Frames get dropped, especially when Lumetri Scopes tab is open A choppy workflow is not very pleasing with a newly upgraded "beast" of a machine. I'm starting to think i might be wrong about the GPU and have to upgrade that as well.. or is just Intel so much better than AMD when it comes to Premiere? I am using Cuda acceleration, tried most of the performance tips i can find around the internet. Specs MOTHERBOARD: MSI X399 SLI PLUS CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X RAM: 32GB HyperX Fury DDR4 3200MHz GPU: MSI GeForce 980 CPU COOLING: Enermax LiqTech TR4 360mm PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2L SSD: Crucial BX100 250GB Thanks a lot for any helpful feedback!

Hey guys, Im running the latest version of chrome on a 2017 macbook pro, and occasionally during video playback(on either twitch or youtube) the video glitches and starts to flash random elements from the web page. Its usually fixed by tabbing to a different window and then back, but its super annoying. Any of you guys have this issue?

i bought Acer A515-51G-53RP laptop , it came with an older version of windows 10 and then i upgraded it and edge just stopped playing videos on internet the video would buffer alot with no audio , So i went to the fourms at microsoft's website they told me to reset the browser , change gpu playback to software playback , at the end nothing worked and they said to do a repair upgrade or reinstall windows ! im scared to do it . So any ideas ? here is the link to the microsoft thread : https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/forum/edge_other-edge_win10/edge-dosent-play-sound-after-windows-10-fall/ac27cf92-0d38-438f-b229-a149a066830a

I have been suffering from pretty bad video playback screen tearing for quite some time and finally stumbled upon a fix. It appears that the Windows Aero theme includes vertical sync and that enabling it can take care of screen tearing. To access the settings you right click the desktop and click personalize or properties depending on your OS version. Then click Windows Color and Appearance. If you are already running Aero, you will be presented a page with color options instead of the page shown in the video. To access that page, click Open classic appearance properties for more color options. Test system is AMD Phenom x4 with AMD Radeon HD 6870. The following is information and sources used. https://youtu.be/5xkNy9gfKOg - Video playing on the screen in case you want to test yourself. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/308728-33-screen-tearing-video-gaming - The source that caused me to look at the windows display settings. Previously I had been digging through Catalyst Control Center with no avail.

Currently looking for capture solutions for a future gaming setup. However with the large array of devices and options I curious of what the community has had the Best experiences and success with. Looking for either a external or internal capture device.

Hi everyone I'm pretty new to the LinusTechTips forum and I came here for help and ideas for my Lenovo y50. When I got this laptop I was really exicted about getting it. I got to replace my old 510p because it had problems with everything basically, but anyway when ever I play videos either flash videos like youtube or even movies or tv shows I have stored on my hard drive on the y50 the videos would lag for a second. On Flash videos the picture would freeze for a moment but the sound would play and for my personal videos the whole video would stop sound and picture for like a second also. For me it's really noticeable and it kind of annoys me. I haven't even had the laptop for long and there are these problems that I can't find solutions for it. The worst part is that it happen right after I got it and used it for the first time. I tried looking online to see what the problem is, but it doesn't seem like people post about it so I'm not sure. I even called Lenovo for help but that didn't really work out. If someone could help I would really appreciate it. It frustrating when a new laptop does this. If it helps it's the 59421847 model on lenovo and I tried Chrome Firefox and Explorer for my web browsers. Thank you for the help in advance.

Hello! Recently I have noticed that my video playback is awfully slow and out of sync, the video seems to have huge FPS issues as if it was low, but the voices work fine. Simple motion such as walking in videos doesn't seem natural at all, but more like there are too many steps, as if frames that are not supposed to be noticed are to be seen. This issue does not happen when I play videos DIRECTLY on youtube, however if some sit like facebook has a link to a youtube video it again seems slow and out of place. Tried to uninstall and reinstall browser/adobe flash player, hasn't helped so far. Did post my dxdiag along should that be useful, also running Comodo dragon browser, chromium based.

Several months ago, I upgraded to a GTX 770, and have been loving it. However, I have ran into some very peculiar issues when viewing videos. 1. Randomly, when watching video in any sort of player, the contrast and brightness go WAY out of whack. The contrast shoots up ~20% higher than normal, while the brightness appears to shoot up ~10% above normal. This issue occurs in all forms of video playback that I tested. (VLC, Windows Media Player, Youtube, HTML5 videos). This issue, SOMETIMES, can be corrected by going into "Adjust Video Color Settings" in the nvidia Control Panel and Force nvidia settings, and then manually adjust the brightness and contrast down. Other times, I am only able to solve the issue by restarting my computer. Restarting seems to always correct the problem. This issue is not very frequent, but it occurs at least once every two weeks but most of the time it's once a week. This issue also occurred on the last version of GeForce drivers. At the moment I am only using a single monitor and sometimes duplicating that to a TV. In the past I have encountered the problem with dual monitors. At that time, the issue would affect both monitors. 2. I frequently encounter tearing in videos. I have noticed it in VLC and in Youtube videos. The tearing is not anywhere near as bad as tearing I've seen in games, but it annoys me when I can see just a blip here and there when I'm immersing myself in a movie or something of that nature. I have checked the screen settings and it's set to 60Hz, 1920x1080 1080p in the nvidia control panel. It is using the automatically suggested settings. Under "Video Image Settings" I have attempted to use both "Use nvidia settings" and "Use the video player settings" and I see it in both. I re-install windows every 2-3 months and am soon tempted to switch to Windows 8, although I may wait for Windows 9. Pretty much all of my drivers are up to date. I have been scouring the internet with little to no luck regarding these issues. I figure I might as well pick your brains. These are really the only noteworthy issues that I have experienced since swapping my Radeon HD 7950 out for this GTX 770. Any thoughts or ideas?

this morning i reinstalled my OS, and when I play a 1080p video on chrome,IE,or Comodo Draggon(it was the only one not having audio video sync issues before the re install) I would very much appreciate it if you could help me solve this issue. I have tried disabling Pepper based flash player, but it did not solve the problem.
