AMD does tend to have problems with frame rate...

You sure its your graphics card, just because it stutters playback, could be a CPU spike, Ram issue, HDD slowdown issue..

Flash and MPC Can use the GPU if its setup to do so, flash does by default, MPC can if told to.

What are the rest of your system specs....

CPU:

Motherboard:

RAM/Memory:

Windows Version:

Driver Version:

Anything else you can add.,.. error msg's? or similar?

Crock of Shit.

You may have had a specific issue, that does not entitle you to spread a generalized statement like that.

I'm running a 7950 @ 7970 clocks, since last november, have had NO problems with framerates or drivers, which I change every release.
Neither had my brother with his stock 7950 since november, neither have the system builds I've done using AMD GPU's...

Get aquanted with actual truth, before spreading bullshit.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

You'll have to give more specifications before anyone can give you a good solution. I have two 7950's and am getting no stuttering issues with the latest drivers, so I have a feeling it's your CPU.

Lots of startup programs and low system ram can cause hiccups, background tasks consuming more than normal cpu usage can cause stutters/hitches in playback...

More info is needed...

Yep, if it doesnt boot from PCI-E, and defaults to using onboard, even if you install amd drivers,I think it will see onboard as primary until you do manual changes...

Maybe turning some of the driver default features off, the ones that focus on "video pre-processing"
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/hqv-2-radeon-geforce,2844-2.html
^ This control panel is similar to what your catalyst control centre is like... Turn some of these off and find the "apply to internet video" and detick that.
Just curious if maybe one of these default features could have a bug... like keeping gpu load on the card due to flash hardware acceleration with driver additions...even after that has closed...

Do a clean driver install but this time only install Display driver and Catalyst Control Center... or just Display driver if you don't need CCC like me.

Use this to uninstall the previous driver: http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/catalyst-uninstall-utility.aspx

 

What programs do you have running in the background? Did you try a different browser to see if it also causes youtube videos to stutter?

You said "it have started to stutter", that leads me to believe it worked well before?

 

If so: Revert back to drivers you was using before it started to stutter. Try to remember what you changed day(s) before it started to stutter.

 

If it's always stuttered, well, it could be due to the system, install latest drivers, set power plans to high performance, startup programs etc.

 

If everything fails, look at guides section and try to follow some useful instructions there.

 

If nothing works, change G to A or M, that should work.
