kye Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Has YouTube CGU/GPU usage gone up in the last week or so? Before that my MBP did 4K 24-30p videos fine, fullscreen on my UHD panel, in any browser. Now, in Firefox, the same videos max out the fans and it sounds like it's trying to take off vertically, and even more odd, switching to something easy like 480p would have the same effect. Safari is better, but still has noticeably more fan speed than a fortnight ago. ....or maybe my computer is getting a hernia or something? I did the usual troubleshooting, restarting etc, and haven't had any hardware changes either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dancing Babamef Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 you probably want to enable HW accel, that puts the strain on to the GPU not the CPU. kye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It was on automatic, but setting it manually didn't seem to make any differences. I wish it was that simple 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 Ah, I think I found it. Changing from Light Mode to Dark Mode seems to fix it, even keeping Ambient Mode enabled (which seems to be the thing that gets some other people). Odd. Seems like a bug in YT.
