@sonwman Video processing/decoding can use lots of CPU.

@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

@leocg
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.

@shkverik Without any useful information, it will be difficult for someone to try to help.

What are the opened pages? Did you check the processes running in Opera with Shift+ESC?

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

@jannyc0 Seems a normal usage for me. In fact it's a low usage.

@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.
