+therealDamien Subscriber¹ Posted October 18, 2014 Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 18, 2014 I like using chrome but going to sites that show alot of gifs cause chrome to lag really bad. firefox is great for me when browsing sites with gifs. it gets so bad in chrome that the page wont even scroll my specs intel 3770k nvidia 780 16gb mem windows 8.1 chrome 64bit beta, also tested 32bit. firefox and waterfox. no problem. only problem html5 videos get stuck on buffering or only plays sound.

User6060 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 maybe try 1) about:flags 2) Enable : Impl-side painting Mac, Windows, If enabled, painting is done on a separate thread instead of the main thread Steven P., svmpatel and +Nexus18 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wait for couple minutes. then it will scroll freely firefox loads the random funny pictures thread fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Berry Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yeah, it'll do that if Impl-side painting isn't enabled in Chrome's flags. When enabled, I can free scroll without issues or lag in the random pictures thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taim Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/impl-side-painting It sounds like it should improve your situation once it's stable. It still has lots of parts not implemented yet. Also have you tried disabling hardware acceleration, might be a GPU/driver issue with Chrome.

Steven P. Administrators Posted October 19, 2014 Administrators Share Posted October 19, 2014 Thanks, been having this issue too, also terrible stability issues with my ATi HD 5450, with the latest AMD Catalyst drivers (in the v14 range) the driver crashes frequently and I've even had video freeze across the top of my screen :/ only way to get rid of it is to log off and on again in Windows. ATM I am just thinking of swapping it out for my Nvidia 560 GTX, the only reason I used the ATi in my new build was for lower power consumption, because I don't game anymore and don't really need the NVidia card and extra noise the fans make. I may look online a bit more for the issue I am having with the ATi card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Berry Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 The 14.9 drivers are horrible - I personally still use the 14.7 RC3 drivers until its addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's what I'm using (14.9) but their uninstaller is also really bad, it just reinstalls the latest driver again lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Berry Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Look into Display Driver Uninstaller as it works great for display driver upgrades/downgrades/clean installs. :D Steven P. 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Zlip792 MVC Posted October 26, 2014 MVC Share Posted October 26, 2014 I found out that by disabling chromes builtin flashplayer pepperflash,helped with slow loading gifs. which dont make sense seeing flash player dont play gifs, am I correct? Yeah... It doesn't make sense. I also found on Google when searching loading gif issue about this solution. e.g.; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16874065/gif-images-in-chrome-loading-slow-and-or-other-problems Although Lifehacker aslo mention this addon: http://lifehacker.com/gif-delayer-eliminates-choppy-animations-to-play-gifs-a-1528157941 Didn't try it yet though...
