Having a strange issue that I'd like to get some insight on. If I have youtube open in the background, not running, just open, my frame rates drop in games by approximately half. For instance, if I am playing SWTOR and youtube is open with no videos playing, my framerates will hover in the 20-35 range depending on location. If I close out the youtube tab/window, they will immediately shoot up to 45-60 range. This only happens with youtube open. I can have 5+ browers windows open, winamp, etc. and virtually no affect in-game. I have noticed similar results in TERA but unable to quantify the fps decrease.
My system is as follows:
I5-2500k @ 4.4
ASRock Z28 Extreme 3 Gen 3
8 gig GSkill Sniper Ram @ 1600
Corsair 650TX PSU
Asus 5770 @ 1920X1080 (Waiting on final Nvidia offerings/Final AMD price drops)
Any thoughts as to why just having the browser open and no videos running would cause this result?
