Description of the issue:
As the title says, any video stream on brave will cause screen tearing as long as hardware acceleration is on.
Steps to Reproduce:
Expected result: No screen tear
Reproduces how often: for as long as hardware acceleration is on
Operating System and Brave Version :Version 1.68.131 Chromium: 127.0.6533.73
Which indicates it’s not the browser but your graphics card.
Do you have an NVIDIA card? Many users have reported issues with settings like MFAA or antialiasing needing to be disabled for Brave. Yet others noticed issues go away if they disabled Background Application Max Frame Rate.
Companies like NVIDIA and AMD often optimize for browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, but not always for others. In some cases, changing Brave’s executable name to “chrome.exe” has resolved issues by making the graphics card prioritize it as if it were Chrome.
And yeah, it varies based on the person’s device and specific card being used. Yet all comes down to the idea that if something works with Graphics Acceleration disabled but has issues when enabled, it’s something related to your graphics card.
Would ensure you’re not using onboard graphics rather than main GPU in windows settings.
I tried messing with the nvidia settings a lil, nothing rly worked, i’m still gonna stick with brave just with acceleration turned off as it is still better than the rest for me. thanks for the quick reply tho
All good, @lagazah. Only other thing if/when you feel like experimenting again later might need to be changing some of brave://flags. For example, I had to disable Vulkan. And occasionally I’ve seen people need to adjust Angle graphics backend:
Outside of that, I would just have you do things like maybe test in private window to make sure isn’t an extension or some cookie causing problems.
