Game stutters while Browser is open?

[FarmerGiles97]

So these are my specs: 

CPU is overclocked at: 4.7ghz

 

When ever i have a browser open, and watching a twitch stream/youtube video my game will stutter like mad, the FPS counter shows the usual FPS i would get, but the game starts to stutter, i dont have hardware acceleration enabled and my CPU/GPU is not on 100%. 

 

Could anyone help me out? 

 

Here are my speed too:

I guessing your using Chrome?

Try Firefox

My gf system has the same problem it happened to be an issue with chromes html5 and hardware acceleration.

Switching to firefox fixed it.

What game exactly? Because you know if it's a very CPU intensive one and you're trying high refresh rate than yeah this is normal, you only have a 4 cores processor after all and multi-tasking is limited.

Yeah i have 1 1440p 144Hz monitor, and 2 60hz 1080P monitors! 

 

It was on CSGO, and overwatch.

Both games despite "easy to run" when you're trying to push the 144fps stable they can hog the CPU a lot, even CS:GO become more demanding with the past few years for high refresh, Overwatch also likes maxing out old quadcores i5's to keep up the 144fps margin, you have Hyper-Threading which assists a lot but there is no miracle...

 

Without further troubleshooting I'd say your Skylake 6700K is simply starting to show its age, even if it still has a strong single core performance the past 2 years saw a significantly increase in multi-threaded workloads since AMD Ryzen pushed the midrange to hexacores with 12 threads.

 

Try ensuring you have hardware acceleration enable and disable for your browser, see which way works out the best.

I run 1440p 

 

I5 6500 oc 

16gb

Gtx 1080

 

I usually run early access games which are cpu insensitive as they are not optimized and I can tab in out of games watching yt I usually dont this issue

I was guessing that.

 

Was thinking of maybe upgrading to Zen2? Will see what the preformance stats are when they come out.
