so by opening the latest patch notes without hardware acceleration on, its utilising 100% of my CPU. why is the website so unoptimized?

External link →Kinda glad someone posted about this because I really wanna ask why people turn hardware acceleration off in their browser? :) We can change the settings on these so they don't autoplay if need be
hardware acceleration always causes issues every few months when there's a new update or something just going wrong with the hardware acceleration algorithm, thus I assume that would be one of the reasons why people turn it off. For me personally, I have it off because the only game I play is runescape, which I know doesn't utilise all 16 threads of my ryzen 7 3700X (4 at most). and my GPu would be running anywhere from 50%-100% depending on whats going on in game thus not compromising my fps with background stuff open like youtube videos.
also for the vast majority of people that are on budget gaming builds, or even budget laptops, having hardware acceleration on, on say a GTX 980m or a GTX 940MX, its going to absolutely reduce your fps, even with a youtube video playing in the background at 1080p, I m basing this off the fact that 1080p youtube video transcoding utilise around 8% of my GPU (GTX 1080) while 4k video youtube video transcoding will utilise 50-60% of my gpu with hardware acceleration on.
Ohh hey that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for explaining, I'll try to see to it that they no longer autoplay.
