Hi,

My current system:
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
Memory: 16384MB RA
Available OS Memory: 16322MB RAM


Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC
Display Memory: 14204 MB
Dedicated Memory: 6044 MB
Shared Memory: 8160 MB
Current Mode: 2560 x 1440 (32 bit) (120Hz)

I recently bought a monitor: 32" LG UltraGear 2560x1440 QHD 165Hz VA HDR10 Monitor

After connecting monitor my system seems a lot slower. How do i know this? Well when i got to say you tube it takes a long time to load and then durin ghte middle of a video it has to "buffer" .........never did this when i had my old vga monitor which was 24inch.


Any idea what i need to do? i thought my video card was good enough. How do i know if i need any driver updates...could this be a cause for the slowing.............i am at a losss any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Are you running Adblock along with a Chrome based browser? There is currently a bug affecting Adblock users which presents exactly as you describe.

It's not just you: YouTube is slowing down your PC if you have AdBlock installed by making your CPU sweat—though despite the company's past behaviour, it's probably AdBlock's fault

YouTube Premium members also appear to be impacted.
