@leocg why is it so hard for you to accept that maybe the problem Is in fact on Opera’s end?!
In every thread about this topic you keep insisting it is some users settings that are the issue rather than the program itself despite there being Multiple users reporting that this feature is not working as advertised.
Why can’t you accept that? Why insist some one actually did turn off hardware acceleration when they affirmatively stated they have made no changes to their system? Why assume they are either wrong or made the change and forgot? How is that a more likely actuality than “there’s a bug in this application”?
It’s ridiculous

after looking around, turns out it was Youtubes live chat causing the ram to be really high, also is 600mb+ standard for opera gx? -

@iwantslxcky Yep, that's normal. I consider it a low RAM usage.

Hi there. I am encountering this problem for quite some time and it is getting on my nerves. This browser is using lots and lots of RAM without a particular reason. What seems to be chugging the RAM is the "GPU process:" task, but also it seems that every tab is using a lot more RAM on this browser than what the same tabs use in other browsers (like Chrome, for example - as you can see in the attached picture; Chrome has the same tabs opened as Opera GX has, but still having a lot of active extensions, unlike GX). So what really is the problem here?
Thank you

@leocg said in The High CPU/RAM/ETC Usage Topic - Opera GX:
@zhimhd Open Opera's internal task manager and check what is using that much CPU.
Use Task Manager to view CPU consumption to help identify the process or application that's causing high CPU usage:
Select Start, enter task, and then select Task Manager in the search results.
The Task Manager window defaults to the Processes tab. ...
Select the CPU column header to sort the list by CPU usage. -

OperaGX consumes more ram than microsoft edge even in its most efficient mod
There is no gap between them, but there is a difference of 200 300 mb. -

Opera Randomly jumps from using 10-20% CPU with 10 Tabs open to well over 30-60%, sometimes even 80% CPU Usage the second I use a single key, a single button, anything, the second I do literally anything, even so much as scroll or move my Cursor in Opera. All of those things immediately cause my CPU usage to spike to 50-60% minimum, and very using anything, may it be a Browser Game, YouTube or even just a website without videos, causes the CPU Usage to spike to the point where Opera GX alone is lagging out my PC. YouTube is way worse, watching a video alone lags my PC to the point where I cannot do anything and just having Opera GX run in the Background while I am on Discord causes my PC to randomly freeze.
Restarted PC, not one thing changed, in fact the Issue got even worse and while booting my PC was caught in a 20-30 second blackscreen before entering the windows login page. All of these issues occured after I used Opera GX for the first time after wiping my PC clean (Full on wipe, with every file on the PC deleted). Opera GX was also the only running, so the issue HAS to come from Opera.
Furthermore, using the CPU and RAM limit add-ons cause Opera to lag my PC to the point where not even Opera itself is usable. Not only that but Opera is consistently using higher amounts of RAM than before, jumping to 800 MB.
To add even more, ever since the installation and usage of Opera GX, my fans are running on maximum Speed. It is near impossible to switch between Programs and Windows using the Task Bar.
Opera GX VersionWhile editing the Picture, Opera GX caused my PC to lag out even harder and took the Picture 3 seconds to load (Picture normally loads within the fraction of a second), whereas editing the Picture is extremely laggy and takes a very long time (Also around 5-10 times as slow)
Example of the lowest CPU usage recorded in 2 minutes of Monitoring without doing anything in Opera GX
Due to Opera GX, Several Attempts were necessary to even open the file of the Picture/edit it, and even then, was only possible under extremely severe lag.
Example of Average CPU and RAM usage.
