MSi 5770 Hawk Edition GPU - Clocks are changing when watching youtube

[nathanb2159]

Hello,

I have a MSi 5770 Hawk Edition GPU

I play world of warcraft, and enjoy watching youtube on my second screen.

But when i am watching a youtube video the clocks change from 850/1200 to 400/900 MHz, i think its the 3d clocks changing to 2d clocks.

The reason why this is bad is because i cant PVP/raid whilst watching youtube because my fps goes from 60 (i have vsync on) to like 30 ish and less.

Anyone have a clue on how to change this?

EDIT: forgot to put in rig details

AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE 3.2ghz quad core
4gb ddr2 800mhz ram
MSi 5770 hawk edition

I think you would need to disable hardware acceleration of flash videos but am not sure.
