Nexus Site Scrolling Performance - SOLVED

[matrxhasyou1983]

Greetings all! I am SUPER excited, because I have just now figured how to fix the bane to my nexus site browsing experience.

 

Symptom: Scrolling through any nexus page in Google Chrome was extremely slow and stuttering.

 

My system runs Skyrim on ultra with texture mods without a hitch, so web page performance shouldn't be slow by any means.

 

System specs: Intel Q9550 @2.83GHz

4GB RAM

nVidia GTX560Ti

 

Solution: I run most websites at a 125% zoom because my monitor is a 42" TV, and I sit back a little. Well guess what. After updating everything from my keyboard/mouse drivers to my video drivers, uninstalling/reinstalling chrome, messing with chrome extensions, I finally figured it out.

 

You cannot run the nexus pages at any level of zoom and maintain scrolling performance. Slide it back to normal 100% zoom, and everything is fine. I do not know if this is a limitation of chrome's built in flash/shockwave or if it's a nexus site limitation, but the nexus was the ONLY site that was giving me trouble with zoom.

 

There you have it. I searched for two months trying to figure this out and I finally did, so I hope this helps others as well.

I have a similar setup (46" TV, 125% zoom, much newer hardware), and this problem is still relevant, even on the most current version of Chrome (47.0.2526.106).

 

Thanks for identifying that it was zoom related. It turns out that it's a combination of zoom, and a fixed background image.

 

If you disable the background image on the nexus site, everything is smooth again.

One way to do this is with the Stylish extension. Create a single rule for all the nexusmods.com domains:

html, body {
    background: #000000;
}

Oh my God, this. I thought I just had to deal with the slowness but after getting rid of the background it's smooth as a hot knife through butter. Thank you!

This was exactly my problem except I'm not zoomed in chrome; I'm on a HiDPI display, which in windows 10, auto scales everything according to my dpi setting (200%). So, while chrome says I'm zoomed 100%, I'm actually zoomed 200%.

 

Anyway, followed this advice and it worked perfectly.

Finally, it was driving me nuts.

Had no idea it was the background image.

I don't know anything about Stylish extensions but choosing ' no skin'' under 'Site Preferences' fixed it alright.

I can still use the zoom function (which I need due to bad eyesight)

 

Kudos to you ah42
