I believe with Nvidia it will run fine.
I have got another friend who also has Intel hardware and he claims that there is no lag when using chromium-based. Particular with that website.
Ok so I installed chromium-vaapi-bin
To see whether you are currently using Hardware or Software acceleration, play a video and in a new tab open chrome://media-internals/ , click on the video and check the video_decoder field:
- Hardware acceleration: MojoVideoDecoder, GpuVideoDecoder
- Software acceleration: VpxVideoDecoder, FFmpegVideoDecoder (some say it’s Hardware acceleration?)
I did that but I couldn’t even find the video_decoder field (I did a ctrl+f to search for it) nor hardware.
Also check chrome://gpu and ensure that you see:
- Video Decode: Hardware accelerated
I did that and the Video Decode says it is unavailable, even though I just installed chromium-vaapi-bin package.
All though the videos on YouTube don’t really seem to lag that much compared to scrolling.
Sorry mate I really wouldn’t happen to understand what all the information means in the images.
Yes its already installed.
So I went inside chrome://gpu/ and I just wanted to paste my log (this one is specific to brave)

I was hoping if somebody understands this log and knows what is causing the lag.
In case the log that I have submitted is hard to read, I have also pasted the contents in a document https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pT7XBCty5Ej1D3LAZnsFF9CdIq3ytEkg so that it is easier to read.
Let me try and see if it works now, hopefully.
