Games losing FPS while youtube autoplay switches video

[GETxHIPFIREDx]

Hey all.

 

I can list my specs below. While playing any game, if youtube switches videos via autoplay (chrome), the game I am playing loses fps from 120- like 30 for 5-10secs.  Any thoughts how to fix this issue, for my specs I should not have this issue. Not seeing any temp issues or stutters in any other situation. 

 

i9 9900k

3080ti

32gb Corsair ram @ 3200

2x 2tb WD blue sata m.2

750 corsair sfx PSU

Ncase m1

Full custom waterloop. (Mainly ek stuff)

This doesn’t sound abnormal.  Maybe Stop watching YouTube videos while you game? Both your cpu and gpu are big.  I don’t know which one you are maxing but like a game, YouTube would use both.  Maybe look at metrics to see what you are burying when you do it.

Playing a youtube video at 720p and playing supermeatboy is too much for a 9900k and 3080ti... sure. Nothing is peaking in hardware monitor

Seems like normal multitasking, the drives are holding you back a little.

So you’re saying neither are being maxed.  720p could be a problem for a big amphere gpu though.  They’re apparently optimized for larger than 1080p and if they play really small resolution stuff they can have problems. I doubt that’s the issue here of course.  Putting even a 1080p monitor on a big card like that is often not advised. 
 

thing is if you run something and there’s no upper limit put on fps, either the cpu or gpu will max unless there’s something else going on.  That’s how this stuff works.  One sometimes sees fps over 1000 on some loading screens.  That’s why even a static loading screen will push a gpu.  Look at that evga thing where 3090s were bricking.  You might be getting some ungodly high fps in your super meat boy, or it might have a capped fps somehow. Capping frames to something handleable would free up resources.  You might be able to tell if it’s a different thing then. @Heliian mentioned multitasking.  That’s perhaps a possibility.  A windows thing.
