What interrt connection do i need for 1440p/60 fps youtube with no lag

[SHREDDER]

Since i bought 1440p monitors 2 months ago i noticed that evry time i am going to watch a 1440p 60 fps youtube video it lags. I have 24 mb connection. So what connection do i need ?

Does youtube even have 1440p 60fps? Isn't it just 30fps above 1080p?

I can watch 1080p 60fps with a 10mbps download speed connection so I guess 20mbps download is enough if they ever add 1440p 60fps


What are your results on speedtest.net ?

24mbps might be "ok" if you are the only person in the home doing anything online like this.

If you have others on that connection; then you generally need more than this.

What ISP do you have?

Also what browser are you viewing this in?

I am using Firefox and all 1440p videos lag a lot.

if videos lag and your internet speed is over 5mb/s its the pc causing it
what cpu?

are you sure about that? 5mbps is not even enough to play 1440p 30fps. I have a 10mbps connection and have to let 4k video buffer for a minute and then play it

2500K 3,3GHZ GTX 970 G1 GAMING 4 GB DDR 3 1600 MHZ. I can play all games max settings 1440p some of them at 60+ fps like DOOM and others are close to 60 fos max settigns. That why i find it strange that my pc dont have issues running a game at max settings but it has issues running youtube videos of them! Also did i did the right thing by buying a 1440p monitor or should i had bought a a4k one and use it on 1440 until my next pc upgrade?

I would TRY Edge or Chrome; Firefox is just awful.
It stutters and acts up just loading simple pages.
Plus with ones like Edge or Chrome; you don't have to worry about Adobe Flash being up-to-date; the browsers do that for you, or is done when doing "checks for updates" and installing the latest browser update. Firefox you have to manually update plugins and such, and it uses old ones still (like Adobe Flash) that have been ridden from other browsers cause we don't need it.

You still have not shared any real info, just the "Why wont it work"...

Run these 5 times each; share the one for each that seems most stable/accurate:
SpeedTest.net
PingTest.net (requires Java)

What is your ISP plan rated for down & up speeds?

Is the PC connected to Modem/Router network via Wired or Wireless?
