I'm experiencing lag when trying to play high-quality 4K movies on my new PC, which has much better specs than my old laptop that never lags when playing the same movies. I've tried various solutions from online forums, including updating all drivers and checking that CPU and memory usage are at low levels (CPU is at 0-1% and memory is at 13%). My PC has an i7 14700kf, RTX 3060ti, and 32GB of 6000MHz DDR5 RAM. In contrast, my laptop has an i7 9700k, GTX 1650, and 24GB of DDR5 RAM. What could be causing this issue?

It sounds like you might need to use the same media player with updated codecs. The difference between the default players and more advanced ones like MadVR or LAVFilters can be significant. I recommend checking out MPC-HC, which you can download from the link provided. It has great options and comes with LAVFilters included, which might help with your playback issues. Good luck!
Thanks for the tip! Can you clarify what codecs I should be using and which version I should download from that link?
