  1. DWM excessive GPU utilization while gaming


    hello good afternoon friends :, I have a problem of excessive use of the GPU for the DWM process, I tried everything that appears in the forums and I cannot find the solution.

    I have an ASUS ROG STRIX notebook with two gpu, an intel 630 integrated and an NVDIA 1050 dedicated,

    Attempts:
    - Format windows I had no results.
    - I downloaded the DDU application delete the two drivers from the gpu and then I installed them from 0 and I did not get results.
    - Deactivate the gpu Acceleration Scale, from config and also nothing.
    - Lower the priorities of the processes and nothing.

    I HAVE UPDATED THE DRIVERS AS OF DECEMBER


    The truth is, friends, I don't know what solution to give you, every time I play a game like DOTA2 or any other, the two gpu's work, even if I assign them in the control panel. I can't find a solution, if someone can help me I would appreciate it :

  3. Get better Game Performance under Vista by disabling DWM on a per-application basis!

    I just came across this tip/tweak, which probably many who are familiar with Vista already know... It's about disabling the aero effect on a per-application basis, so that you get vista basic interface during gameplay (when you're not going to see it) and it switches back to aero when you exit the game.

    DWM, or the Desktop Window Manager, turns the graphics card into a shared resource which allows for the Aeroglass effects and the tear-free desktop. When running normal applications, this is a good thing because it offloads the graphics work (the bulk of which was handled by the CPU in Windows XP) to the GPU, which, when running normal applications is sitting in your computer doing nothing. With Aeroglass/DWM on, the CPU is freed up for other duties as all of the desktop graphics are now handled by the GPU.

    In DirectX 9 and OpenGL games however, having Aeroglass/DWM on can decrease performance. This is for a number of reasons :
    1.DWM makes the video card a shared resource. When DWM is on, programs are not allowed direct access to the video card.
    2.DWM uses both System RAM and VRAM because it maintains an offscreen buffer for every window.

    Fortunately, Microsoft has provided a way to disable DWM on a per-application basis so you can still enjoy Aeroglass when not running games. To disable DWM on a per-application basis, right click on the application/game's icon and select properties. Navigate to the compatibility tab, then find and check Disable Desktop Compositing. Now, whenever you launch that program, Windows Vista will temporarily switch back to the Windows XP style graphics subsystem.

    DirectX 10 games shouldn't be affected as much (if at all) by having DWM on because the DirectX 10 API is designed around having the GPU as a shared resource and is better able to handle GPU multitasking.

    With a few simple steps, on most setups, you can easily make your games run as fast or faster than in Windows XP under Windows Vista.

    This will work on both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista.

    DWM excessive GPU utilization while gaming

    dwm.exe using a lot of GPU % when game is active

    so I have this problem with dwm (desktop window manager), where it suddenly chooses to use 60% of my GPU when I start a game, program, or just move my mouse, and this is causing the GPU to go into 60C degrees and make an output of 50 FPS (frames per second)
    (in overwatch) when it is normally in the 40-54C with 59-60 FPS (in overwatch)

    is there a way to disable dwm or is there a good workaround?

    I know there has been a post about this some time ago but it never found a reliable fix

    Specs:

    CPU - I7-6700 base 3.40Ghz

    GPU - 1060 GTX

    RAM - 16 GB 2400MHz
