Random PC performance Q

Post by Dave »

So I have my TV hookedup to my PC thru the HDMI output, and usually end up watching Hulu/Netflix/etc while gaming, but always when Adobe Flash player is going (regardless of streaming quality), my gaming fps is pretty terrible. This doesn't happen when it's a media player like MPC or VLC. Any ideas on what I can do other than give up? :-D

Flash is GPU accelerated. If you have spare CPU power, you can disable the GPU acceleration and leave your GPU cycles for 3D.
