@MaxCrackerJax Is this happening only on sites with multimedia, such as YouTube with videos? Or does the tearing, lags, etc happen on any type of site? (including Brave Community?)
What about other browsers? For example, do you have the same issue occur in Chrome if you have it enabled and visit the sites?
Hints it’s an issue with your graphics card. Not sure if you’ve updated drivers recently? Also, want to mention there’s an issue from 7 years ago with an update from 2 years ago of people with this issue over at Nvidia. You can see that at https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/geforce-graphics-cards/5/230149/screen-tearing-issue-in-chrome/ So not sure if you’d want to check about disabling vertical sync or even going to brave://flags and disabling Smooth Scrolling as mentioned by one as their solution.
Can you go to brave://crashes and provide crash report ID? If it truly crashed, you should see something there.
Hopefully you’ve checked out the prior things first. If none of those work, I’ll have you test a few other things. If you test one and have no issue, you can stop there, otherwise try the next:
-
If you open in a Private Window, does it work or still have the same issue?
-
Same question as above, but for a new browser profile? (make sure you don’t add extensions or change settings, except maybe to toggle hardware acceleration)
-
If you go to
brave://flagsand enable Vulkan, do you see any change? -
Same as above, but try Choose ANGLE graphics backend
-
Does disabling Shields have any impact?
