Why Does My Game Only Run Smoothly with My Browser Open?

I've been experiencing a weird issue while playing Rainbow Six Siege. Normally, I get around 300 fps, but this drops significantly to just 100 fps with a lot of stuttering unless I have my browser open. My setup includes a Ryzen 9 7900X and an RX 7900 XT, so the hardware shouldn't be the issue. I've already reinstalled all AMD drivers and the game itself, but nothing seems to help. Is there a way to fix this?

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Is there a way to enable hardware acceleration without needing your browser? Would that help resolve the issue while gaming?

That sounds really odd! It could be possible that your browser is somehow assisting in hardware acceleration, maybe running a background process that helps your game performance. Have you checked if there are any settings related to hardware acceleration in your graphics card settings?
