Are there any fix for hardware acceleration issues?
Yeah i’ve seen that too on a few setups, mostly when gpu acceleration is enabled with certain drivers. sometimes disabling “use hardware acceleration when available” in edge settings helps for a while, but it’s not a real fix. it’s likely related to chromium gpu sandbox or the way edge handles direct composition.
For now, only workaround i found is updating gpu drivers or switching to the beta/dev edge build where rendering is slightly more stable. hope microsoft addresses it soon, it’s annoying having to resize every time.
Thank you for the reply!
I didn't tell, but it seems to be not related to GPU drivers, since I used a RTX 3060 TI for a long time and moved to a RX 9070 XT, and it happens with both.
Which version is stable on beta/dev build?

Very interesting. For me, I never had these issues while using an RTX 3080. It started when I moved to a RX 9070 XT.
Also, for me it is never happening while gaming. It only happens when I have one window open that is playing a video (YouTube or a streaming service) and I have a second Edge window for browsing in parallel. It's incredibly annoying. So annoying, that I started watching videos in a Firefox window instead...
I would really like to know if the issue has to be fixed in Edge or by AMD in their drivers.
