I have hardware acceleration in Firefox enabled but frames are continuously dropped and the video stutters significantly. CPU load is around 60%. When I download the video as VP9 and play it with mpv the CPU load is 15% and the stuttering is gone.
Same goes for Chromium where hardware acceleration is not enabled. CPU load is then 80%.
The issue got even worse with my new 1440p monitor. There are no issues when playing videos with a lower frame rate. I’ve got a i7-7500U with an HD Graphics 620. Is my laptop already too old to play YouTube videos or may there be an other issue?
