DeskScapes 8.5 slowing down my wife's PC now as well
Saturday, January 2, 2016 by gevansmd | Discussion: Animated Wallpapers
My wife's PC was a clean Windows 8.1 PC that I upgraded to W10. We never installed any SD software except for DeskScapes 8.2 because she enjoyed the animated wallpaper. Her CPU was at 20% usage. I installed DeskScapes 8.5 this evening and running the same dream it's now using 47% of CPU.
My PC did a similar jump but I run lots of SD and other software and was already at 47% or so. Now I'm running 99-100% making the PC unusable unless I pause dreams.
And yet no one else has seen the same kind of jump in CPU usage?

It's any dream. As I wrote, on my wife's PC, 20% of CPU was in use until I upgraded to DS 8.5. Suddenly, 47% of CPU. With everything else the same, CPU use more than doubled. My CPU use also doubled. We're both using the same Codecs and I have a much faster video card.

There are many variables involved. Encoding, Codecs used, content, GFX card/driver in use, etc, Quite frankly, if it came down to running eye candy or actually using my rig....it be a no-brainer. What Dream are you having issues with and what do you have for GFX and codecs?
