Streaming Netflix causes graphics issues in the game

[Magerpaine-bronzebeard]

I have a new computer, CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme VR Gaming PC • Intel Core i9-13900KF 3.0GHz • GeForce RTX 4070 12GB • 80-GB DDR5 • 1TB NVMe SSD

I always watch streaming stuff when I play the game as I have 2 24 inch monitors hooked up to my computer. I can run every other streaming service when I play wow and they have no impact, but when I run Netflix, my computer screen graphics go insane and I can hardly see what’s going on on teh screen. The only way I’ve determined to resolve the issue is to restart the computer. And I’ve stopped watching Netflix while I play.

Any ideas why this might be happening? My computer doesn’t have any gpu or cpu issues. It’s a freaking work horse. I just don’t know why Netflix causes problems, but nothing else does. Here’s a screenshot of what happens as soon as I launch a movie on Netflix. Looks like it won’t let me save a pic. I tried linking to a google photo of it and that won’t work either.

I forgot to mention that I read elsewhere that turning off Hardware Acceleration in my browser might help. I’ve done that and will be testing to see if the problem reoccurs.

You will want to turn off hardware acceleration. In the browser

How can I enable or disable hardware acceleration in my browser?

Thanks. I actually disabled it shortly after posting and I watched Netflix for a few hours after posting this without any issues. So I guess we can resolve this issue. Although I plan to test it further and see if it pops back up again. It could happen after leaving my computer up for several days after rebooting.
