GTX950 GPU, Windows10
Hi,
Task manager tells me that Winows10 is using my GTX950 at all times. GPU usage is maybe 4% with 0.8/4GB memory in use. Naturally I am pleased. But what tasks could the OS assign to the GPU other than graphics? I noticed that GPU use went way up when I did a large file copy. I use RDP, which should minimize display graphics work, I think. Its summer so heat is important. In winter I use excess heat for the room. Just Curious

Just Curious You could try turning some of the "effects" off, which might be switching the card into 3D mode. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-d...nce-windows-10 I hope there are no "tricky" coin-miners hiding on your machine.

The GPU is a big math processor, so apps might use it to perform calculations. You did not mention what apps are running at the time you check GPU usage, or the list of processes that are loaded in memory at the time you check. No way for anyone else to focus on the candidate process(es) without any knowledge of them. See the same GPU usage when you boot into Windows' safe mode (to get rid of all those startup programs)?
