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

          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.

          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

              @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.

                          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.
