Youtube Stream Hardware Acceleration Boosts GPU Clocks Over and Over
When watching some streams on Youtube on Firefox, my graphics card will boost to max clocks and down over and over, in turn heating up my gpu over and over and eventually reaching the point where my card heats up enough that the fans turn on. This causes my MSI Afterburner gpu temperature curve to look like a continually rising set of sharp shark teeth.
This issue seems to not affect all Youtube streams, but most of the ones I watch. It does not occur when hardware acceleration is turned off. On Chrome and Edge this issue is not present even when watching the same stream and with hardware acceleration turned on.
Watching streams on Youtube should not heat up a card this hard and boost clocks over and over for no good reason, and I hope the Firefox team can resolve this as quick as possible.
