Recently, I have been experiencing performance issues when playing Chess on my PC browser, Opera GX. Despite having capable hardware, I still face problems even though I use the Power Saver mode for the browser. I rely on my Intel i7 4th generation processor to navigate smoothly, but it seems to struggle when I launch chess.com and especially during actual gameplay. Specifically, my CPU usage shoots up to 98% during gameplay, causing severe lagging and making it very difficult to move the chess pieces. However, I have observed that the CPU usage returns to normal (around 4%) when I switch to the chat, live, or any other section of the site. I would appreciate any suggestions or insights on how to resolve this issue. It is causing me a great deal of frustration and is affecting my ability to enjoy playing chess on my computer. Thank you for your assistance.
TL; DR?
Issue came out of no where, it makes my whole scene during the game run at 10fps.
