Hi and welcome to the community.
I was hoping a tech savvy community member would pop in and offer suggestionsā¦ I am definitely not tech savvy but thought I would post some information that may or may not be related. Please excuse if none of this is helpful or if it is something you already tried. I am hoping some of it might be helpful!
It would probably help other community member, or Brave support staff, if you could post both your Brave and OS versions. You can copy and paste the information from brave://version. Also, you may want to confirm that your Brave and OS versions are updated as well as your drivers (Iām sure this is the case, but threw it out there anyway ).
Good news, Iāve fixed it!
Today Iāve downloaded Vivaldi browser just to test it out, and noticed that it had the same exact issues - this meant that the cause wasnāt probably in the browser itself. So I got an idea to reset āGlobal settingsā to default in NVIDIA Control Panel, and IT WORKED!
SOLUTION: Reset āGlobal settingsā to default in NVIDIA Control Panel.
This means that it was caused by some setting in NVIDIA Control Panel, but I canāt tell which one.
I tried disabling all of the extensionsā¦ still the flickering didnāt stop, I tried to turn off Hardware Acceleration but then CPU usage reached 100%, still the videos lagged. After doing all this I found a solution - Turn on High Performance mode in pc , if option is not there then select āCreate a power planā- choose high performance in that , Since my Nvidia gpu cause stuff to flicker and once the whole thing started to became pixelated and become white - I went to graphics settings and selectā¦
Driver for integrated graphics card - manufacturer versions must be installed.
If you messed up with updates over the manufactured version.
If thats done;
RIGHT CLICK ON DESCKTOP SPACE/ DISPLAY SETTINGS - PROPORTIES/ BOTTOM - GRAPHICS SETTINGS/ EXPLORE - ADD PROGRAM BRAVE BROWSER/ RIGHT CLICK/ CHOOSE INTEGRATED CARD SAVING MODE.
SETTING IN INTEL CONTROL PANELL
IN DISPLAY MAX RESOLUTION REFRESH RATE
3D SETTINGS -
CUSTOMISED SETTINGS
VERITICAL SYNCHRONISATION ( HARWARE )
ANTIALISAING MORFā¦
This is an older article at Brave GitHub Wiki, but it may give you some ideas.
GPU issues incident reports
An older Brave GitHub issue report that may provide some insight. You may want to search issues on Brave GitHub if you havenāt already. I tried but gave up. I couldnāt tell if any of them applied to your issue or not.
[Desktop] After sync v2 upgrade, seeing High GPU util, potentially some OOM Kills, Screen flickering and freezing up (when Grammarly extension enabled) #11412
I think you already tried this one
I found a solution in my case, thanks to a Reddit user u/X0Reactor
Disabling VSync in my GPU settings resolved the flickering. Hereās the process for Nvidia GPUs:
Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > Program Settings > Select Brave.exe > Vertical sync: Off
Hope this helps others with the same issue.
This was another post in the same topic that may offer some help. I couldnāt tellā¦
I am seeing warnings for these problems. Iād post the whole log but I canāt attach files as a new community memberā¦

These may or may not be related to the fan issueā¦ you might want to do a search on community topics and GitHub to see if you can find more information. Again, I tried but just canāt discern what is actually related to your issue.
[Usage]
I ran this test multiple times and kept getting the same result. Chrome uses more onboard intergraded GPU resources than Brave creating a better experience, the video is smoother and the fan doesnāt spin up (Laptop). I wonder if this can be changed in Braveās code? Brave is using way too much CPU and not leveraging the onboard integrated graphics card (I disabled hardware acceleration for battery usage and I donāt want to hear the fan running+heat)
