I wasn't even looking for this answer! Was definitely having this issue and low and behold you popped up in my feed and saved the day!

I’d be careful doing this, depending on your CPU this could make things worse as this adds a significant load to your CPU to play video as it does it without any decoding help from the gpu

Thanks alot for this tip!
I quite frequently have video playing in the other monitor while i play, and i noticed that either my game would lag or the video would drop to 480p.
Interestingly, i did not have this problem with my old PC. Recently upgraded from Gtx1060 into 6800xt, i7 4770k into R5 7600x....well anyway, this tip worked wonders.

Just a quick tip, if you are turning off hardware acceleration this will put all the browsers load on your your CPU instead of your GPU if your CPU is better than your GPU then you can turn this on, if you CPU isn't very good I'd leave it check on.

This is the same reason why I was thinking about just getting two of the exact same monitor since I'm in the market for a dual monitor setup.

Since there are still people commenting here's a solution:
You don't have to match 1:1, you only need to make sure main monitor hz is divisible by side monitor hz clean.
I.E. New monitors at 240hz works with 60hz since 4*60hz=240hz so the gpu can update them together. If you have something like 144hz or 165hz + 60hz they will always be on different cycles and that seems to be the issue. Some games will stutter immensely unless you use bandaid solution and set your 165hz monitor down to 120hz so it matches with the old 60hz monitor. Then it runs perfectly fine. Weirdly this is not a universal issue and occurs only with some games. I personally tested this with the surge 2.

Of all the tutorials and multiple tech channels in YT. You are the first one I see mentions the hardware acceleration. Thank you this fix all my issues with the micro stuttering.

I had this issue too, back 8 years ago.- then i found out about graphics plateauing. so basically multi-monitor users should mix monitors ONLY as multiplications. IE, 60hz+120hz, 60hz+240hz.. this will help to mitigate the issue SOMEWHAT. but then it's just microsoft programing issue.

That last minute decision for the led fans was definitely the way to go on that pc!

This is why for years I use two browsers. One for everything with hardware acceleration off as modern CPUs are far more capable these days of doing it all themselves. And in another browser with hardware acceleration on for when I need it

DUDE! Thanks so much! You got a new sub here. I've been having issues running my RX 5700 with dual monitors. If I game on one and have a video playing on the other my gpu clock would fluctuate from 0 to max gpu utilization would be all over the place. Turning off hardware acceleration seems to have fixed it!

Here are my results. CPU 5600 OC, GPU 6900xt No OC, monitors 1x 1980x1080p 60hz, 1x 1980x1080p 165hz, 1x 2560x1440p 165hz (Main Monitor), 1x 4096x2160 60hz. 1080p 165hz monitor with 10+ Chrome tabs open no video playing gets performance/stutter warnings with no fps drops, video playing same messages but with 2-3 fps drops, now twitch stream playing major stuttering warnings with fps drops 5-10 and having the stream in fullscreen makes the fps/stuttering worse with 5-20 fps drops. 1080p monitor 60hz is similar fps drops but feels like it stutters more. Now my 4k tv is the worst with major stuttering and averaging 116-125 on youtube videos while only 75fps when fullscreen, 85-108 fps on twitch streams, while only getting 40-45 fps while fullscreen...Minimizing the tabs while the videos/stream play have no impact on fps even when playing on my 4k tv. I always have twitch playing on my 4k tv while gaming and now i think i figured why my games always stutter but i need to do more testing. Thanks!

when you google "game stutters when watching videos on second monitor" you get a highlighted solution:
Change your monitor's refresh rate
This issue seems to be plaguing users who have dual monitors with 144hz and 60hz refresh rate setups. If that's also your case, try changing the 144hz monitor to 60hz, which has proven to be working for many users. You can follow the steps below to change your monitor's refresh rate.

your solution should be shown instead its way better

Something I found that also works is running your 144hz monitor at 120hz as a direct double of 60hz. So if you have a 144 and 75hz monitor, run the 75 one at 72hz.

Just turn off gsync, vsync, freesync, both on your monitors and nvidia control panel, and set "preferred refresh rate" to "highest possible" so your higher refresh monitor doesn't dip into sync with lower refresh monitor or even worse, to 60Hz in some cases. This is what helped me when I was wondering why my fcking Apex Legends stutters like hell in my 240Hz monitor and it feels like I play on console.

YES! This fixed my issue. Just added 2 more 1440p monitors to my 3080ti for a total of 3 and couldn't figure out why YouTube full screened in 1440p was stuttering like CRAZY while my cpu/gpu/memory were all barely at 10% to 20% utilization with my temps very low! Big time appreciate the video! I knew about turning off hardware acceleration.... totally forgot to turn it off with a clean install of windows.... Thanks again!

i already disable HW acceleration in Chrome but the stuttering issue is still in there. But this issue is absent when using Microsoft Edge. It looks like Edge have better handling at GPU rather than Chrome.

I am no expert, but in theory if ur GPU is bottlenecked by ur CPU this would make it even worse no?
