Twitch clips and streams unwatchable since getting 144hz monitor

Recently I purchased a BenQ XL2411 monitor to improve my gaming experience. My old 60hz mointor is now my secondary display. Since upgrading my ability to watch Twitch clips and streams has become very limited, although I am not certain that my problem is linked the new refresh rate. Twitch clips are affected the worst, I click a link to one load it up on either monitor click play with the whole clip buffered and it won't play with any fluidity. The audio is fine but the video continually speeds up and slows down to point of where I have no idea what is going on. The only semi-fix that I have found is to watch them on the lowest quality option but even then some clips do this stupid stuttering. When watching actual livestreams I get 1000s of dropped frames over just a couple minutes of watching. This is all happening in Chrome 64 Bit. Interestingly clips play fine in Edge on all quality presets but obviously I don't want to switch to Edge just to watch Twitch. Any fix would be appreciated.

Specs:
AMD FX8350 @ 4.2Ghz

It's the adobe flash player that is integrated with chrome causing the problem. You can either disable the flash player or use a different browser.
It could be linked to the nvidia drivers or chrome itself.

nope, forgot to mention I have tried enabling and disabling flash and it makes no difference. Also have have done a clean installl of chrome.

Did you restart the browser after disabling it? I haven't had any issues with twitch once flash was disabled in chrome.

I have disable/enabled flash multiple times, on the old install and the new install. Also switched the setting in Nvidia Control Panel between single display performance mode/multi display performance mode/compatibility mode. All made no difference.

This worked for me: Go to settings in chrome click +Show advanced settings, scroll down uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available", restart chrome. I write this for future people too because it took me ages to find the correct answer.
