      Hello folks!
      I have this issue with Opera consuming too much CPU, about 30% with a few tabs open and it easily hits 80-100% if I open more than 20 tabs, specially when their content is loading.
      What I did so far was to set up the performance preferences in Windows Graphics settings, I added both opera.exe and laucher.exe to high performance.

      Then I checked Opera's CPU report and got this error:
      Problems Detected
      Disabled Features: gpu_compositing

      GPU processing settings are all enabled as you can see in the images.
      My set up is CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 4000 Mhz and GPU: Sapphire Radeon R7 250X, Windows 10 Pro x64

      What else can I do to force Opera to use the GPU instead of cpu?
      Thanks

        Mess with the flag at opera://flags/#use-angle. Try setting it to opengl for example.

          @burnout426 Thanks, I tried and things got worse. It's really weird. When I launch Opera, CPU usage hits 80% and then it goes down and varies as I load new tabs
