Hello,
i have the same problem, when i watch one twitch stream 1080p and 60fps opera gx use more then 25% of my cpu (i7-7700) when i try this with chrome or edge it is only 5% cpu.
why did opera take so much cpu? i cant watch a stream and play games at the same time bcs i have only 20-30 fps in game, sometimes opera has peaks from 30%-50% cpu.
the same problem is on youtube. i dont want to switch my browser but i cant use them so anymore. -

@shylin Video processing/decoding can use a lot of CPU, specially if hardware acceleration is disabled or not available or if the codec can't be hardware accelerated.
Check opera://gpu and see if it says that hardware acceleration is being used for the itens in the first section, in special video decode.

@shylin Confused with what exactly? If opera://gpu says that hardware acceleration is not in use, check in the settings page and make sure it's enabled.
if it is, go to opera://flags and make sure that opera://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode is enabled.
Also enable opera://flags/#ignore-gpu-blocklistAfter have done that, check again the status in opera://gpu

@operagxgmaer That is causing any issues? You can use Shift + Esc to see what is using the RAM.

@palikka0x45 Hardware acceleration is off, that's probably why you are having a high CPU usage. If you have disabled it, turn it back on.

okay, what changed. it's been Off always. What forces me to use it? if it worked previously?
It also negatively affects video/stream viewing

@palikka0x45 With hardware acceleration turned on, the GPU will do a great part of the job.

@leocg This wont be final resolve for this issue.
Edit:
hardware acceleration makes videos diashow, laggy and unstable.Like a said, this wasent issue on 2weeks ago.

@palikka0x45 Hardware acceleration should make videos run better. If it doesn't happen, then maybe there is a incompatibility with your graphics card.
Its drivers are up to date?

@leocg Drivers are okay. GX ain't. No problems on different browsers.
Edit:
Im just waiting Chromium update.
