Problems with YouTube videos 'jittering' in Chrome with hardware acceleration on

atxcyclist · March 21

I had this problem in Windows 10 for a while and recently updated this machine to Windows 11, the problem has persisted. I have a 3060 Ti running the newest released drivers and Chrome is updated. YouTube videos have vertical jitter when playing back unless I turn hardware acceleration off. That works but absolutely goes wild on a few cores of my 5900X and so my fans ramp-up, the processor doing this work should not be necessary. Is there an extension or something else to fix this? My Macs have zero issues with this in Chrome so I know it's not Chrome as a whole, I do not have any modern AMD-graphics systems to test it on. Also, I have a bunch of things integrated into Chrome so I'm not looking to change browsers.

Did you try a clean install (using DDU) of your drivers after upgrading to Windows 11? Also would help to know what extensions you might be running on Chrome.

I'll try a DDU, haven't done that yet. The only extension I have is Nord VPN but it's not active when this issue is happening.

nvidia has released a slightly newer driver, so I'm going to install that instead. Just as an aside: The GTX 750 and 750 Ti are still supported in Windows 11, which is shocking to me.

chrome://flags/#use-angle

Try adjusting that setting. I first became aware of that setting relating to black square problems some have with NV GPUs and Chrome, but if this problem might be acceleration related it might or might not help there too.

They're Maxwell architecture like 900 series. Bulk of 700 series was Kepler.

Chrome has experimental feature called flags. To access these type chrome://flags in the search bar. Then search for hardware. disable or enable different flags to see the difference.

I have changed from the default D3D11 to OpenGL, and so far this looks promising. I will do a little more YouTube watching and testing.
