My system specs is as follows

i5-12400 32gb DDR4 3200mhz 250GB SSD as main (wd blue NVME)


Whenever I play 8k 60fps video on youtube it lags and get massive frame drops with igpu sitting at 100% usage. With other browsers like chrome and edge it works 100% can play 60fps 8k video without any issue.

For a test, try to enter about:config in the address bar and create new numerical preference media.mediasource.eviction_threshold.video = 157286400, then restart.

That worked somewhat but my gpu usage is still 80% compared to +-50% on other browsers
