Computer Slower When Using Internet on Two Screens

I'm currently using two screens to browse the web: one for Youtube and one for other misc (i.e, this). I've got a a 4k and 1080p screen connected to an r9 390 xfire setup. It's slow when a video is playing but then becomes normal after it is finished. Why? 

I7 4970k, Sapphire R9 390 x2, HyperX Fury 16gb, Z97s Sli Krait, Corsair Rm 850w, Samsung 850 Evo 250gb + 1tb Caviar Blue x2, Phantom 530, Samsung 4k Freesync Monitor, Razer Blackwidow Expert, Utechsmart Venus 50;

Because your video is buffering maybe for 4k or something or your having too many tabs open or videos open

"What" is slow? Overall responsiveness? If you are on your rig with the i7, the CPU should be able to handle the 4k playback of YT. Anything special / suspicious showing up in your Ressource / Task Manager?=

It draws more from your CPU and your GPU because your CPU has to load more tabs and your GPU because it has to load more stuff. LeI :P

If you watch at 4K well that's why it's lagging.

For some reason everything slows down when you watch youtube in fullscreen. I have the same issue now and then. Probably because the codec stuff doesn't work properly...

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

I'm loading the video in 1080p (non-fullscreen) and using the other monitor for a couple of other forums. Task Manager readings are normal by the way,

 

samcook55, I have also noticed Youtube butchers the framerate in fullscreen. Hope they fix that soon.

My input in the web browser is slow. The rest of the computer is okay though.
