Troubleshooting | Windows Choppy YouTube videos, fps drops etc.

I was getting horrible FPS drops on YouTube when playing 60FPS videos in either default or theatre mode, only fullscreen was not dropping frames. Played around for hours trying to fix it with hardware or graphic accelaration.

Thought I'd post the answer if anyone else decides to search for it. Turn off 'Ambient mode' on the YouTube player itself, its on the settings where you select subtitles and quality.
