can someone check that somehow?

my comment to author:

"Idk why but while using your wallpaper temperature of my graphic card is going really high (from 58 in idle to even 75) is a short time. Only with your wallpaper...

monitor and wallpaper engine specs:
1440p
antialiasing MSAA x4
post-processing enabled
texture resolution high quality
FPS: 144
reflections ON

it's only with this one wallpaper. If it was a program I would suspect that is cryptocurrency miner but just a wallpaper can't do that?"

This wallpaper cannot do anything like that, it's just a result of the wallpaper being 4k with a lot of overlapping particle effects and your high FPS limit of 144 FPS.

okay, thanks for the answer. It's just weird that only this wallpaper works like that (I'm using a lot of 4k wallpapers with particle effects) and I was worried because I've read that there were some wallpapers that had some kind of script to be cryptominers.

It's safe and doesn't contain a cryptominer or anything similar.

The high usage comes from your high FPS limit since this option only affects real time wallpapers ("scene" wallpapers) so if you compare it to a video wallpaper you would usually be comparing it to a 30 FPS wallpaper. Most wallpapers at 144 FPS will make your GPU work harder, even rendering a single color at very high FPS would increase the work and heat notably.

If you want to keep using this wallpaper and reduce the performance it requires, you can disable MSAA without losing quality and reduce the FPS to < 30 or until you reach a point that works for you. You can also change the "texture resolution" option but this would also reduce the quality a bit on your screen.
