Issue with youtube being open while playing game

My computer gets completely bogged down when I have youtube running with PoE2 open. No other games cause this issue. Even Escape from Tarkov. The game itself still runs completely fine, but the moment youtube hits the second monitor, all hell breaks loose. The video frames on youtube start going into a slideshow type situation, displaying an image every 5-10 seconds or so and the audio also gets choppy. I've tried it on firefox, chrome and edge. Same results on all 3. I've ran DDU, updated graphics drivers and as well as trying on full screen, windowed and windowed full.

PC specs:

Windows 11 (home edition)
AMD Ryzen 9 9900X-12 core
32GB RAM at 6400
EVGA Nvidia 3080Ti

Game installed on 2TB NVME solidstate

None of my friends are having this issue and google is turning up 0 results. Let me know if i need to give anymore information

hey dude dunno if youll ever see this, but im sure people will come surfing to find a fix.

with my 3000 series card i had the same issue, people who have and 3000series or 4000series cards might experience the same.

youtube would fuck with everything, same with netflix.

to fix this, i limited both my forground and background FPS in game to 100.
i also have DLSS on, Dynamic Res on, fullscreened, dx12,
