Youtube lags on 1080p and 720p on chrome but runs 1080p without lag on IE

I watch a lot of youtube but 1080p videos on chrome lag really bad but they don't lag on IE. I want to be able to figure out this problem as with IE videos render really slow . Anyone knows what I can do pls. Tks

when I right clicked on the video hardware acceleration didn't come up. Only these came up:

Looks like you are using the new player, HTML 5. https://youtu.be/nJ4RpuMwMnE?t=172

The above video will show you how to disable hardware acceleration via chrome settings. Check the stats for nerds option to confirm this is your issue.

Tks a lot of the lag did go away but it is still lagging a little but during the intro of this vid it did not lag at all but when he started playing fifa it still lagged a little the sound distorts a little at 1080p but it is good at 720p . Do you know what I can do or is it coming form my components?

A couple questions to help narrow down the search.
1. Do you have any extensions in chrome?
2. Is the behavior the same for 1080p & 1080p 60fps youtube videos?
3. Can you include a screen shot of your stats for nerds? You say its better but can we quantify the difference our first change made?
4. Chrome menu --> More Tools --> Task Manager. What kind of system resource usage are we getting? Screen cap?
5. Brand & Model of computer.
