High GPU usage in foobar

2023-02-27 03:38:20

Hi,

I recently swapped my gpu for an Nvidia one and ever since i open foobar, i see that foobar causes my gpu tot throttle and consumes 120 watts. I would assume it is hardware acceleration, is there a way to disable it ? And in the case where it is not hardware accel., i would appreciate any clue on how to solve this issue.

Thanks.

Advanced Preferences|Diplay|Visualisations|Use hardware acceleration
But this can have other causes, for example faulty covers.

It only appears on Foobar v2.

Try: Install a fresh portable foobar2000. Add media library. Problem still there?

A 3rd party component must be the cause of this. The OP could post a list using the Copy report button from the main preferences>Components.

First of all, I'd look at making sure you have the latest drivers for your GPU direct from nvidia. It's never a good idea to rely on anything built in to windows or supplied through windows updates.

I'd then look at testing a a layout with/without these components...

Code: [Select]

foo_vis_oscilloscope_d2d.dll (2017-01-07 16:43:38 UTC)
    Oscilloscope (Direct2D) 1.1.0
foo_vis_projectM.dll (2022-08-17 22:25:56 UTC)
    projectM visualizer 0.0.5

Or maybe tweaking their settings/size could help??

foo_wave_seekbar can be GPU accelerated but I wouldn't expect it to be an issue. It's been around long enough and I don't recall previous complaints.
