Frame Rate Decreases Significantly when adjusting Volume / Brightness

Hi all,

I got a question with the frame rate on the MacBook Pro (13 inch). While I play games on my Mac (running at 60), I adjust my brightness and volume mid game and I noticed that the frame rate drops significantly. This also happens when a notification pops up. May I ask whether others are experiencing this issue? If yes is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Graphical issues and screen flicker on 14' macbook pro During normal usage with chrome or brave browser, I experience graphical issues such as lines going through the screen. There is also a significant amount of flicker on higher brightnesses. Turning off promotion helps with the flickering but does not get rid of the lines. I have also tried to turn off true tone and auto-brightness but it does not help. Could this just be a bug or could it be a hardware issue? I have linked a video of the problem below: https://youtu.be/BegYZw67JlA

Macbook Pro 16-inch 2019, frame drops while playing youtube video in Edge From past few days I have been noticing frame drops while playing youtube videos in Edge. I think it is after I updated to Big Sur 11.5.1 (20G80). I interesting thing is that, frame drop always happens when touchbar goes off (after sometime automatically ) and also when it wakes up (if I use touchpad or keyboard) It was not happening before and I think it is due to the update, any idea how I can fix it ?

This happens on almost every game from minecraft, csgo, roblox and etc. Theres more questions and that is there a fix to this? The second second is if there is no fix is it normal on mac or just universally around all low end devices?
