Disabling HW acceleration will cause more issues, offload all the GPU work to your CPU.

If I turn it on I can count the frames per minute, it makes it way worse for me. I turned it off since I started using Brave as a browser.

Well, never mind. I tried it again, and now it works just fine.

Hardware acceleration turned on fixed my Problem!
