The video in the html5 player in youtube stutters. The audio doesn't though, just the video. Every few seconds it shows a couple frames from a half a second ago. It's been doing this the whole time, it never wasn't doing it.

What can I do?

Great! You could try updating drivers as Fred suggested to see if that helps hardware acceleration, but I think that's it for now.
