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

              a94ebabe-41a1-4abe-8bfa-b2d81ce98ef5-image.png

              I have reported the issue alrealy ~2 weeks ago, but havent got any information back.

              am i only with this issue? Reinstall didint help.

              5900x 1080ti.

              hardware acceleration fixes this issue, but destroys livestreams/youtube playback.


              Your OS (Linux, Mac, Windows)

              Windows 10

              Your version of Opera GX

              Your version is LVL 3 (core: 79.0.4143.73)

              A screen-shot of the problem if it's related to something not showing as should

              Included

              A description of the problem, including as much as information as possible

              High CPU-usage

              Steps to (try to) reproduce the issue

              Update latest Opera updates

              Expected behavior and actual one

              New Opera GX version

                  @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.

                    @leocg

                    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.

                              Why does the opera gx use 100% cpu when only one tab is open? I am watching twitch and the cpu consumption is 100%

                                Hello. I've been running to an issue where after some time of using the browser a process seems to appear out of nowhere that consumes a lot of CPU resources. Ending this process doesn't affect the browser in any way. Any idea what might be causing this issue? This happens once a day every time I use the browser.

                                  @mikahs Use Menu > Developer > Task Manager or Shift + Esc to see what those processes are and which ones are using that much CPU

                                      Still same issue as last time. Hardware Acceleration fixes this, but makes videos/streams/gifs diashow, laggy and unstable.

                                        @palikka0x45 Yeah it's the same issue. I also have hardware acceleration turned-off since Discord streaming doesn't work properly with the browser having it turned on.
