          Depending on the video codec, hardware acceleration may not be available and video processing will always uses lots of CPU.

            0 effect when its on or off, idk why. Same CPU usage and nothing in performance.

            Depending on the video codec, hardware acceleration may not be available and video processing will always uses lots of CPU.

            How I can check video codec ?

              In Youtube you can right click on the video and then on 'stats for nerds'.

              For others you can use opera://media-internals/

                video/webm; codecs="vp9" (videos)

                video/mp4; codecs="avc1.4d401f" (live streams)

                Also I have high CPU usage when I am opening pages with flash.

                  Those are not hardware accelerated AFAIK.

                  video/mp4; codecs="avc1.4d401f" (live streams)

                  Those should be if your GPU and OS support hardware acceleration for H264.

                      Get a better CPU? Sorry but if GPU can't handle it then CPU will have to do the job.
                      And video decoding may use lots of CPU.
