    Hey everyone,

    Just wondering if any one has tried the 4K video on youtube with the R2? I am trying right now but it lags a lot (not surprised). Anyone else have any luck?

    Here is the link:
    YouTube - ‪Life in the Garden (4k resolution)‬‎

    You have to go to the resolution settings and change it to "Original"

    it lags because flash is crap, even my main desktop gaming rig can't view it and i have very good internet

    also could be lagging because of server loads on youtube :D

    cant wait til html5 takes over..

    I know, I can't wait for HTML5. On my previous netbook when flash came on, my vent was like a furnace, jeez. I am going to try it with turbo and OC on. We'll see what happens...

    Try whitelisting IE! There is a thread on the first page about forcing your GPU to run with a selected application. I make my integrated gpu default in all my internet applications, works great! I tried with the high performance setting now, with no luck.
