100% GPU load when the game is minimized

[Pieloth]

Impacted also by this bug here, annoying when you want to interact with Discord while in game

Tried the Nvidia turnaround, but does **not** do anything to ETS2 while minimized, after switching Alt+TAB to another window: GPU goes from 35% in game to 100% when minimized

Please fix that

Could you post the link for the poll?

The poll was here, @Pieloth, but it was removed by a mod.

@SCS: Still present in 1.45 and BTW with GPU load being 100% the Windows desktop lags A LOT, even the mouse cursor moves in jumps, so it's almost impossible to use!

I just made some measurements. Whatever gaming mode I was in, when TABBED OUT of the game, the CPU/GPU load was less, but never higher than in foreground. NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti. And that is exactly like I remember it since some versions. Before the change of handling tabbing I never minded, so I can't say.

Though your 100 percent problem is unknown to me, I agree that the squeezing of a lot of energy, while in the background, is absurd. Typically, about two thirds of CPU/GPU foreground usage is still performed, on my PC. For nothing.

In straight gaming mode it is even more, but that I never use for tabbing out, because game time moves on, you know.

Maybe someone want to report this to the EU commissioner in charge of the energy crisis.
