YouTube Videos Lagging at 2K Resolution – FPS Drops

Hi,

As you can see from my specs below, my system is more than capable of handling 2K videos and games:

Monitor: Samsung G6 OLED 240Hz (2K)
Processor: Ryzen 7 5700X3D
Graphics Card: RTX 3080 Ti 12GB

I don’t experience any issues while gaming or doing other tasks — everything runs smoothly. Also, when I use Edge or Chrome to watch YouTube videos, there are no FPS drops.

However, I do experience FPS drops/stuttering in YouTube videos only when using my 2K monitor and Brave browser. I have a second monitor (Samsung 1080p), and I haven’t had this issue on that one — even when watching videos in Brave.

All my drivers are up to date.

Any ideas or solutions would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
