Okay. Good to know. I guess its time to upgrade. If you're going to upgrade, go for an intel. As you can see in the link, the image. they all rank higher. And this is usually the case.Total core speed isn't always enough to go on, on what the is cpu is actually capable of handling. Thanks for the advice. I think what I'm going to end up doing is probably buying a new PC altogether, this one I've had for quite a few years and I can do with an upgrade. What would you recommend for a GPU that would be able to handle GW2 and streaming video?

It does do what you describe, but it'll also just decide to lag out completely, freezing the video and forcing me to have to refresh in order to get it working again. I did what you just said to do, but there are like 7+ different processes all called opera.exe and I don't know which one I need to do, so I went ahead and did it on the one using the most memory at the time and it didn't reduce the issue, it's still lagging/freezing. Use a different browser as a test and uninstall Opera for now and play while listening to music on youtube on Firefox instead to see how it goes. It might just be an issue with your browser somehow ( Or Flashplayer), maybe malware or a virus or a bitcoin miner. In that case do a scan on your system to be sure with several virus scanners like Kaspersky,,Malware bytes,UnhackMe,Rkill,Spyhunter,Spybot,Roguekiller,Hitman. To be sure youre clean. I dont think nowadays any pc should have the issues you describe. If the above things i mentioned did not help maybe also try a full clean reinstall of all your drivers, mobo + audio + internet + gpu etc.I've already tested it on different browsers as I mentioned in my original post.I've done a scan of my computer with MalwareBytes and it's saying I'm all good.Also I happen to know it's not just me who has this issue, I've seen several posts on Reddit describing my exact issue, tried the solutions they give and they don't work. All of them reference GW2 being a CPU intensive game however, like @Taygus.4571 said.

Not sure if you need any more information but that's what I could find. @"SoulSlavocracy.4902" - I'll definitely try this, but it does seem odd to me that it would even be doing this when I'm on the launcher, not even in game. But if it helps to alleviate the issues even a little bit, it's worth a shot.

This doesn't happen with any other game, only with GW2. Whenever I even open the launcher, Netflix/YouTube crawls to a halt, if it starts to play again it's with a lot of lag, to the point that they are unwatchable. And it isn't just the browser I am using, as I have tested it with several browsers and it's happening on all of them. I am able to play GW2 just fine without running either of those things and listen to music, but as you can imagine, this isn't ideal. I have a second monitor and like to watch things on it (that's why I got it to begin with).. It's getting to the point where I'm wanting to play GW2 but I know I won't be able to watch my shows whilst playing it so I go and play something else instead because at least then Netflix won't splutter and die. Anybody know what's causing this and how I can maybe fix it?
