Question / Help GPU Being used even when not recording/Streaming

[viswagoku]

Hey guys. love the new upgrade.

I have set it to use Integrated GPU for rendering. and right after i open the app it uses GPU (20-25%)

On the old build it was close to 0% (only the Windows is rendered at this time) and when we start to record it goes up to 40% or whatever according to settings.

On the new build when recording it goes up to almost double amount. (60%) i guess its doing double work?

Is there anyway to fix it?

Thank you.

The program is technically always rendering, and most of what the program does is done on the GPU. I could make some tweaks so that it doesn't do any rendering at all unless an output and/or secondary display is active.

Ideally it's nice to have a dedicated GPU for it though, the power of those integrated chips are limited, and it can often affect encoding as well surprisingly.

i am on a laptop lol. and i play games on Nvidia and record them with intel.. its a good setup. if you can tweak it, please do. but why is the usage so high just for an app? the app is rendered on intagrated but 20-30% usage? lol. its an Intel HD 3000. an old chip but still games run on it. an app is not suppose to use that much power when idle common.. :|

Anyway thank you. please tweak it :)

Hi, i have the same issue, but the weird thing it's that if i select CPU encoding, i still get GPU usage even if i'm not recording/streaming.
