Title sais it all. Having issues with video playback performance. Video just appears choppy/slow (low fps). This happens on both VLC and Youtube. Even games feel like they could be running better (despite high frames it's as if the screen has blurring from motion). Things I've tried:
  • Turned off Hardware acceleration
  • Re-installed latest driver
  • Tried older drivers
  • Reformatted the computer, again tried the above afterwords
  • Called EVGA, was told it's most likely not my card and to run a memtest86
  • Ran said memtest, RAM threw errors, replaced RAM (170$ to test this one out, not cool), ran memtest again, no more errors. Video playback still bad
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I can't tell if this is due to the video card just being a lemon (I got the model shortly before the whole VRAM fiasco came to light) Or the Windows Fall Creators update being faulty.

    If you disable hardware acceleration then it uses the CPU to decode the video so that mostly rules out the GPU being the problem.
     
    Try opening a youtube video, right click and choose Stats for nerds. That will show you the codec, bitrate, resolution, and most importantly dropped frames. Have you tried multiple web browsers with youtube?

    If your RAM is throwing memtest errors you should be able to get it replaced under warranty, shouldn't cost you anything.

    Maybe the monitor is the issue, what resolution & refresh rate are you running, and what type of cable to connect to the monitor?
