I’m currently using windows but my Prime streams stutter a lot and are all jittery. it’s really annoying. So I’m wondering if getting a mac mini or something a bit more powerful than my PC would help.
Obviously there are DRM issues, those can be fixed on windows by turning off Hardware Acceleration in my browser. Is it easy to get around DRM on Mac?
Anyone have any experience or know where I can go to get help/talk about it with people?

Intel Core i5 10400,
GTX 1050 TI,
16gb Ram,
500gb SSD (for OS) and another 1tb SSD for recordings
I use Bandicam to record my Edge browser. Prime is a bit smoother when I make sure my PC is not running on efficiency mode, but still stutters a bit.
Other streaming services only run in 720p or worse, can’t get them to get to 1080p which is my target. I have to use a 4k monitor to get Prime to play at 1080p.
I should note that I purchased all of this content and I only use it for personal use as it’s more convenient for me to have a video file than always streaming the edited content.
Before you do that I’d first try out a few cheap capture cards. Especially the cheap no name ones sometimes don’t implement HDCP (copy protection), so recording Prime should work well.

Will do, thank you!
