Topic: Slowdown in multi-monitor mode when video player is not focused

Monitor 1: Browser and main workspace
Monitor 2: Video player with SVP running

The slowdown doesn't end until I return focus to the 2nd monitor. Even then, the video needs a few seconds to catch back up.

Is there a workaround?

Have you tried fiddling with performance mode of GPU in control panel? Or power plan? If you disable GPU Acceleration in SVP it stays the same?

Re: Slowdown in multi-monitor mode when video player is not focused

Hmm. It's not even multi-monitor.

As soon as Chrome has focus, even with a single monitor, SVP starts choking.

That wouldn't go away until I made sure both the browser and SVP were running on the same GPU.

I guess there's a bottleneck in buffer copies between my GPUs.

But this is insane. AMD does not want Chrome running on dedicated GPUs and locks down the affinity of the executable. The driver will go out of its way to use an integrated GPU for browsers. In order to make this sustainable, I'll have to copy the browser exe every time it updates, rename it, and pin it.

Switch GPU acceleration # in SVP.

To what? It's already using the dedicated GPU.
