Hi,

I'm experiencing stutter/lag when playing video on stream sites like Netflix, HBO Go, and even programs like VLC.

My current setup is as follows:

CPU - Core i7 4770k
HEATSINK - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
GPU - EVGA 760 SC 2gb
HDD - Samsung 840 Pro 256gb SSD
RAM - 16gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600
MOBO - ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO
PSU - Corsair HX850 850W

I am also running a dual monitor setup, with the primary monitor being 1920x1080, and the second monitor only being 1600x900. I have tried sweeping the GPU drivers,however the lag still persists. I don't see how simple video playback could strain my current rig, so what could be the problem?
