For some reason whenever I play 4K or 60 FPS video on YouTube in Chrome it seems to like dropping a ton of frames. With 60 FPS video it skips about half the frames and 4k it likes to skip about a second every few seconds. I have also tried it with a fresh install of chrome with no extensions and the problem still persists. Hardware acceleration is on and I've tried with it off and it's worse.

However I have almost 0 dropped frames in Firefox and IE. I would switch but I use chromecast support quite a lot and chrome seems to be the only one that supports it. All browsers are using HTML 5 version of YouTube.

Specs:
3200x1800

8GB Dual Channel DDR3L-RS 1600Mhz
Intel HD Graphics 5500
