Hi there.

As it says in the title I am seeing a lot of lag on 4k playback. I have tried multiple different programs to play the 4k file on but the same result on all of them..

I have tried.

VLC
MPC-HC
Film and TV (The standard Windows one)
Windows Media Player

I know that 4k playback can require a relatively high amount of power, but my system should suffice.

I am using an i7 7700k and a RTX 2080.

Does anyone know what is going on and knows how to fix it?

Regards,

Kritix.

I have tried VLC and a bunch others. Generally VLC is my go to too. In this case I used the default Windows 10 one. I found that one the most bareable.

I want to add that I can play 4k Youtube just fine.
