Desktop Windows Manager 75% GPU - WINDOWS 10
Hello.

Every video or Scene will fire up my GPU to 75% in Desktop Windows Manager, I have 2 GTX 1080 TI and a triple monitor and using this software with totally lag, as everyone already suffer from this ?

I updated My Nvidia card to last drivers, try a lot for different approaches saw in this forum and none f them worked :(

Every time I run the Wallpaper Engine my Desktop Windows Manager fires up the GPU can´t find the problem...

If I run only in one monitor my GPU goes from 75% to 3%..this means that the app does not work well in multiple monitores?

Did you connect the monitors to the same GPU? Also make sure that you don't have Geforce Experience affecting anything.

Hello BioHazard I have all monitor Connect through HDMI 2.0, My PC is 12 meters Away of my monitors so using DisplayPort is Impossible or even using a convert from HDMI to DP will not work because of the Length of the HDMI active cable.

In Geforce experience I have removed all the shield option since I saw a lot of people with problem coming from shield.

But If i Try to put the Wallpaper only in the 2 Monitors Screens connected to one GPU same happens and fire up my Desktop Windows manager to 75% using GPU.

I´ve tried to disconnect the monitor connected to the 2 GPU but same happens with only two monitors.

To use this app I need to connect all the monitores to the same GPU ? because even soo still not working :(

I know that there is a problem if you connect monitors to a dedicated and integrated GPU. I'm not sure about SLI since that is up to DWM to support - but your case none of that holds true.

Are you sure you connected the monitors to the 'primary' GPU? Like I said, I don't know if that even matters, but maybe it is worth checking. In general this should not happen at all though, I can connect multiple monitors to my GTX1080 and there is no issue like that. Perhaps there is still some other software loaded into Wallpaper Engine that hooks the renderer?

Well I tried again, remove the HDMI completely from GPU 2 and leave only the 2 Monitors connected to only one GPU restarted PC, it was better but still uses 34% of my GPU in the primary GPU, strange is that Wallpaper engine rise from 5% to 25% and DWM down to 10%

The % shown is relative to the current clockrate, so you need to check that too. When mine shows 1% - 5% it is usually in boost mode which is not what you'd ideally want.
if you pc has integrated GPU then you want to go to nvidia control panel and change the app settings so that wallpaper engine runs on the nvidia gpu instead of integrated gpu
