Windows 10: High GPU

I'm experiencing an issue where my games use 100% of the GPU in Task Manager causing the FPS to become stuck at 100-103 fps. The problem arises when I spend time outside games google, discord.., it doesnt happen when im in the game, for example I close a game and i use google for some time and when i open a game again suddenly it uses high gpu, and the only solution seems to be restarting the laptop. Any solution please? its been happening for months and I'm tired of restarting my laptop just to fix this.

having issues with multi GPU

I’m trying to offload certain apps to my iGPU on the second screen, using the new graphics settings in the recent win 10 release. the issue is it’s only showing my 1070. lists it as both power saving GPU, and
high performance GPU.

I’ve been fiddling for a while now with no joy, and i’m really hoping one of you guys has an idea they can suggest to sort this!

I can extend onto the second screen no probs with it plugged into the iGPU, but the 1070 is still listed as both power saving GPU and high performance GPU.

Are there requirements for this? certain level of iGPU for it to work?

Thanks

Edit - setting the secondary screen connected to the iGPU to be the "main" display in graphics settings makes my iGPU show as both power saving and high performance GPU, I just can't seem to get them
to be one and not the other.

 

High End GPU Shortage???

Whose to blame for the shortage in high-end GPUs? Is it these crypto miners or should part of the blame be placed on the manufacturers deliberately keeping the demand up?

AMDs RX-480/580 cards are like gold dust and fly out the retail door before they've even been put on shelves and GTX-1070s/1080s at over inflated prices due to high demand.

I've just been reading that in Italy,..there is a shortage of high-end GPUs and even many retailers and online stores in Germany are suffering shortages too. In fact, it seems this is a Europe-wide problem with sellers experiencing problems obtaining high-end GPU stocks with waiting lists up to three months!

 

Cripplingly High GPU in Windows 10

A few weeks ago my Windows experience began to severely degrade. Moving Windows around is laggy and jerk and you can see even text entry is delayed. Using Task Manager shows that my GPU is between 80% and 100%. All other metrics are low - CPU, network,
memory and disk. The issue is usually exacerbated when using a browser - Edge, Firefox and Chrome all behave in a similar manner.
When quitting the brower, the issue remains. I'm curently running one app (Evernote) and the GPU is at 100%
The PC was running well aand I didn't install or update anything special to trigger the problem.
Specs
Windows 10 64bit
i7-5500 2.4Ghz
16Gb RAM
Output is via HDMI to monitor 1 and mini-HDMI to monitor 2
Steps I have taken to resolve this:

• Reinstall of Windows
  
• Reinstall/Repair of Windows
  
• Uninstall graphics driver - some performance improvement however GPU usage remains high and on reboot, the driver is reinstalled. Also, I cannot use both screens.
  
• Installation of an older, beta graphics driver
  
• Shouting angrily
  
• Turning off hardware acceleration in the browser
